Only memorable round involved a blackboard where the couples had to draw their favourite "position", with points awarded if they matched, a la Mr and Mrs. There must have been other rounds because this thing lasted an hour!?
Winners would win a weekend away somewhere, losers would win a spuriously-shaped candle.
