Synopsis
From the cast list, you would probably expect a cinema quiz, and fair enough, so did we. Leading lady Margaret Lockwood was in the chair, with two teams each made up of two actors and a screenwriter: Kenneth Horne, Leslie Phillips and lain MacCormick versus Michael Trubshawe, David Tomlinson and Eric Sykes.
But it wasn't about cinema after all. The game was for the three members of a team to make up a story in ten-second segments, into which thay had to slip a particular phrase to be guessed by their opponents (similar to The Railway Carriage Game three decades later).
Inventor
Daphne Padell and Kenneth Horne
Trivia
This was one of a series of panel game pilots broadcast in the summer of 1954. The others were: Music, Music, Music!, Ask Your Dad, Change Partners, It's a Mystery, One of the Family, Tall Story Club and Find the Link.
