Synopsis
My Word! had been running very successfully for ten years when this sister show was introduced. Four regular panellists (including Frank Muir and Denis Norden, the "stars" of My Word!) took part in the quiz, which as well as straightforward questions on music (tailored to each panellist's speciality - Muir usually got questions on the lives of composers, Norden questions on stage and screen musicals, and so on) included more unusual games such as identifying famous songs just from their rhythm or even songs played on a silent piano keyboard with no strings.
The most memorable part was usually the last round, in which the panellists each performed a song, particularly Frank Muir's contributions which were frequently obscure humorous music hall songs.
Trivia
John Amis was often asked to demonstrate his ability as a siffleur (whistler).
