Synopsis
Three guests are given unusual news stories and were asked to tell the future Sir David what happened.
There was also a Christmas Special called Pull The Other Cracker in 1987.
Produced by Edward Taylor, who had previously made Does the Team Think?; the two shows were both improvisation comedies with arbitrary scoring. Paul Donovan, the influential radio critic, argues in his book The Radio Companion that Pull the Other One was a full revival of Does the Team Think?; this opinion is not shared by other radio historians.
