Synopsis

Now here's a format that's surely ripe for rediscovery. In this pilot show, various people made appeals for money. One was a pole vaulter who wanted to go to Israel (we don't know why); other contestants wanted to start a circus, to set up a political scholarship, to have their nose shortened, and to buy false teeth. They were grilled by the panel (Andrews, Spain and Byers) and a clapometer decided who should go through to the next round.

Obviously it never made it to a full series, but in these days of Without Prejudice? and Dragons' Den it sounds like a winner to us.

Trivia

The BBC notes for the show also mention that at the end of the telerecording "ANDREWS explains rules of game for N American audience (interesting in that it gets so long & involved that it becomes totally incomprehensible!)". We'd love to see that.
