Broadcast
Shihallion Television for Grampian (also shown on STV), 1980-9?
Synopsis
Comedy panel game broadcast throughout the 80s in Grampian-land.
The Renaissance Man of BBC Sport, Dougie Donnelly, presides over two teams of comedians who were posed questions by ver Donnelly. Much time was taken up taking the Michael out of Dougie's hair/clothes/career.
There was one round where the teams had to guess what tune was being played on the piano by Art Sutter, who also posed a couple of questions. During one of these games, the song was Distant Drums and Andy Cameron said he'd wished it was Distant Pianos.
Trivia
Very little footage from this series has been kept by Grampian, thanks to a mass clearout of their archives when the station moved studios in 2003. The reason for the clearout was...storage.
Theme music
A latter-day version (see Video below) was arranged by Dave Murricane and performed by Fife folk duo Beggars Mantle.
