Synopsis

Umbrella title for a long-running series of one-off pencil-and-paper tests, in which Cliff Michelmore ("brisk and schoolmasterish" said The Times in 1968) set posers about the topic of the programme. Three teams answered the questions in the studio; by the late 1970s, this had become three or four celebrity couples. Coupons were often printed in the Radio Times so that viewers could play along at home.
