Synopsis
Word game involving three teams made up of members of the public and UTV personalities as such, matching some mixed-up answers.

Another round (on the buzzers) was inserted in which six potential answers to all the questions were shown on the game board. The final round dispensed with the £5,000 jackpot prize (indeed, the pounds were replaced by points in the other three rounds) which was replaced by electrical goods.

Trivia
The show was broadcast in many a timeslot, such as during primetime at 7:30pm, teatime at 5:30pm or even in a late night slot of 10:30pm! Guess the scheduling was all mixed up too...
