Host
Tom O'Connor (1980s version)
Broadcast
Associated-Rediffusion for ITV, 1956
BBC1, 1986?
Synopsis
Panel of celebs are goaded on by O'Connor to try and identify an obscure claim to fame that a member of the public has. A clue was given at the start to get them going in the right direction, and there was a "look away now" moment if you didn't want to know the answer.
Similar to What's My Line?, we vaguely recall that a 'No' reply meant that the questioning passed on to the next celebrity - or maybe they had 30 seconds each?
Key moments
One guest was the man who acted as a telegraph operator during WWII, and became the first person in Britain to know that the Germans had surrendered.
Inventor
Based on a 1950s US game show, an early entry in the Mark Goodson-Bill Todman canon, though actually invented by Allen Sherman (of "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" novelty hit fame).
