Broadcast

Chameleon Television for Yorkshire Television (regional), 25 February 1994 to 29 August 1996 (3 series)

Synopsis

Light-hearted nostalgia quiz leaning heavily on the archives of YTV's regional news flagship 'Calendar', with a smattering of old adverts.

'Guess the Year' and 'Mystery Guest' rounds featured, albeit with more of a local or regional slant.

Key moments

One episode shown on New Year's Eve 1994 (see Videos) gamely ended by "killing off" panellist Georgey Spanswick in a cremation-themed illusion. For avoidance of doubt, she did return in the final series.

Theme music

Ernie Wood
