Synopsis

Quite enoyable word game which migrated south of the Border after a few successful seasons in Celticland. If memory serves, part 1 involved players answering questions which were hidden in a string of letters like so:

SCOTLANDISCOVERYEARWORM

You had to identify the numbered square of the first letter and name the answer.

In part 2, they repeated this for a board with several lines of letters. The board was electronic and not dissimilar to Mr Babbage of Family Fortunes fame. Contestants took away engraved crystal decanters for turning up.

Inventor

Based on a Talbot Television format.

Quite a few years later, it returned in a kids version for Scottish TV hosted by Fred MacAulay. The board was replaced by computer graphics.
