Synopsis

Forgettable horoscopic quiz seemingly based on the Mr and Mrs principle.

Contestant Caroline Ely fills in the blanks for us:

Two members of the same family were on the programme. One was in a sound-proof booth and the other told Esther what they would say to a certain question. The questions were based on their star signs. Jonathan Cainer then came on at the end and gave you predictions based on a comprehensive chart analysis.
