Synopsis
H-h-hold the phone! Yes folks, it's the balloon debate on TV! That must have saved a few quid on format fees.
For those of you that don't know, this is a traditional debating game where people from history are said to be in a deflating balloon that can only withstand the weight of one person. Each balloonist (member of the public representing a giant from history) must justify their existence based on their achievements to date. A vote is taken and the loser is chucked out of the balloon. Repeat until one person remains.
The series used debators from schools and colleges.
Inventor
1970s version produced by Mastermind devisor Bill Wright.
