Synopsis
As we remember, this was a sort of proto-Talkabout of sorts. Contestants had to guess what words the celebrites would say on a particular subject. While this guessing went on, the celebs were put inside a nice soundproof living room area (or 'trap', as Maclean insisted on calling it) in the shape of a mouth.
There was also an object round where the contestants had to match with the celebrities in terms of what you could use the object for (similar to the props round on Whose Line is it Anyway?).
Catchphrases
"And here's the man with the mouth... Don Maclean"
"Spring the trap - and bring back (the two celebrities)!"
