Synopsis
Two teams of celebrities compete in a number of parlour games. A bit like Gibberish.
One game that would feature regularly on this show was "I packed my bag". The first player would say: "I packed my bag, and in it I put [for example] a clock." Then the second player would say: "I packed my bag, and in it I put a clock and [for example] a paperclip." This would continue, with the players having to remember everything that had been put in the bag in the right order. If they got it wrong, they were out of the round. Alfred Marks was fond of putting things such as leopards in his bag, apparently.
