Synopsis
Schools quiz involving two teams. In the first round, Pick A Pop, they had to run to the wall and pick a pop star then answer a question on that person. The second round was Pick A Number (hence the name). At the end, the team with the least points had to pick someone in their team to get gunged.
After an inital three-year stay at Border Television, the show was transferred to Grampian Television. Whilst at GTV, it was picked up by Scottish for a solitary series. Grampian kept it until 1996.
Devisor
Phil McKay himself. He was also credited as Programme Associate for the GTV version.
Trivia
Had a clever scoring device. Yellow balls were put in a wiggly scoring track, a bit like a more tortuous version of Runaround, and this enabled you to read the black numbers that were stuck to the front glass.
