Synopsis

A game in which the panel attempted to explain why certain things happened the way they did. The show was slammed in the press and by the audience - over 240 viewers complained, a sizable proportion of the audience. The programme was taken off air after just three weeks, with Down You Go parachuted into its timeslot instead.

Inventor

Based on an American format, produced and hosted by John Reed King from 1952 to 53.
