Synopsis
Typical children's fare, with a mixture of quiz rounds and physical games, all involving the accumulation of letters with which to make mystery words.
The series ran as a knockout tournament, eight teams entered to produce one winner at the end of the summer.
We think the 1973 series had a vague journalistic tie-in, the guests and the Radio Times billings suggested John Craven (from the new Newsround show) was gently educating children on newspaper and television newscraft.
