Synopsis
Basically a grown-up version of Screen Test. Four contestants answered absurdly difficult questions on the buzzer as well as specialist subjects. The specialist subjects were assigned so if you were given "Fred Astaire" and you didn't like musicals, well, tough. However, contestants were given advance warning so they could prepare. How gittish is that?
Inventor
Robin Ray
Theme music
The opening theme music was You Oughta Be In Pictures, with visuals of an animated compilation of King Kong, Charlie Chaplin etc.
