Broadcast

Unusual Productions for Radio 4, 14 and 21 June 2026

Synopsis

The Radio Times previewed the show:

"Stand-up and panel game regular Lucy Porter asks the questions in Radio 4's new quiz from Unusual Productions, which plunders the BBC archive to play snippets of news stories from the past 100 years. Two teams of two mustard-keen members of the public compete to identify the story covered (anything from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the engagement of a pop icon), winning bonuses for the finer points. Middling to difficult for my brain and, golly gosh, these clips are a reminder of just how posh everyone used to sound on the radio."

This programme has not yet aired. A full review will appear here after broadcast.

Trivia

One of four quiz shows given two-episode pilot runs during summer 2026: the others were Bookmarks, Your Number's Up, and Around the World in 80 Ways.
