Synopsis
Sunday evening show where the main point was to work out a missing link between two words like this: GREEN ----- PARTY, where the missing word is HOUSE, Greenhouse and House Party. So bog-standard it hurts.
There were three chances to guess the missing word in a frame, for 30, 20 and 10 points. The missing word in each case was the same, but they got gradually easier as the points dropped.
The end game was quite clever though, one member of the couple gets the middle words and has to construct the frame around it, their partner then has to guess the middle words from the words their partner has given them. If they got all five frames, they'd win a big prize; there'd be a half-decent consolation if not.
