Synopsis

Oh-ho! Enjoyable trivia quiz played with three celebrities, a revamped version of Fair Deal from the 1970s.

Daniels had a full pack of 52 question cards, on each there being a general knowledge question. Players asked for a card and attempted to answer the question thereon. However, it was also a game of memory because if they already asked for a card that had already been used, Paul would sound a very large hooter and the player would automatically lose the point value of that question and have to go again. Sometimes the player could lose shedloads of points in one turn towards the end of the game, asking for a number of previously used cards.

Most cards were worth their usual value - 2-9 points for the number cards, court cards worth 10 and Aces attracting 15 points.
