== Synopsis ==

A panel game on events of a year gone by, illustrated by archive extracts. The show was originally hosted by Robin Ray, with teams captained by scientist James Burke and comedian Richard Murdoch. The show was introduced as part of a revolution to Radio 4's schedules, which also saw ''Woman's Hour'' move from Radio 2 and ''You and Yours'' begin, and was regarded as one of the worst programmes on the network - David Wade in ''The Times'' called it a complete waste of everyone's time.

Though abandoned after two years, the format was not one to lie down, and returned five years later. Now hosted by Richard Stilgoe, the show adopted a format similar to [[Round Britain Quiz]], with a resident team - Ann Meo, the future [[Treasure Hunt (2)|Treasure Hunt]] clue-compiler; and Terry Wogan, the then-host of Radio 2's breakfast show - being challenged by guests.
