Synopsis

A sort of travel-themed variation on Hughie Green's earlier hit Double Your Money, with contestants answering questions on geography with the prize holiday getting more impressive the more they got right - a similar principle (though with completely different gameplay) to that used to determine the prize in Winning Lines thirty years later. The top prize was 21,000 miles and £600 spending money.
