Synopsis

The radio forerunner to Face the Music. Essentially the same quiz as its more famous progeny, but obviously without the visual elements. It ran very successfully for four years before ending when devisor and producer Walter Todds moved from radio to TV. Getting the show on television remained one of Todds' pet projects, but it took seven years to get there.
