Synopsis
A quiz about classic radio and television comedy, according to the billing. Or, four stand-up comics being played silly sound effects and asked unanswerable questions. One round was a version of Call My Bluff on the plots of obscure and best-forgotten films and shows, in which the panelists were invited to read out their prepared scripts in a bad impression of someone else - an idea subsequently done (marginally) better by Gaby's Talking Pictures.
This was the first game show commissioned by digital channel BBC7.
