We do at least know that the pool of panellists included John Cleese, [[Pete Murray]], [[Sheila Hancock]], André Melly, Anthea Askey, [[Willie Rushton]], [[Jon Pertwee]] and [[Barbara Kelly]], and that there was a "special guest" each week, who could be pretty much anybody, from Teddie Beverley of the Beverley Sisters to yachtsman Robin Knox-Johnson.

Synopsis
Billed as "the game in which it's better to be wrong than right", whatever that means. One Radio Times write-up tells us "when Clement Freud asks a question the chances are that the outrageously wrong answer will score more points than the right one." Which isn't much more helpful, really.
We do at least know that the pool of panellists included John Cleese, Pete Murray, Sheila Hancock, André Melly, Anthea Askey, Willie Rushton, Jon Pertwee and Barbara Kelly, and that there was a "special guest" each week, who could be pretty much anybody, from Teddie Beverley of the Beverley Sisters to yachtsman Robin Knox-Johnson. Oh, and we know who the format inventor was.
