Synopsis
Gentle classical music based quiz, an adpatation for TV of the radio format Call the Tune. Three celebrities would try and identify classical music pieces disguised in some way.
About halfway through, a musical guest would be brought in and they faced a set of questions of their own, usually intended to provoke some anecdotes from their own career.
The final round was the Dummy Keyboard where Cooper played on a silent piano where our celebs were challenged to identify the piece of music merely from the hand movements of the host playing the rattling keys.
David Attenborough, Patrick Moore, Richard Baker, Bernard Levin, Michael Bentine, Joyce Grenfell and Robin Ray were regulars.
Inventor
Walter Todds
Theme music
The Popular Song from William Walton's Façade suite.
