Synopsis
Bernard Manning presenting a quiz show? What on earth were they thinking? In fact, the quiz proper was hosted by Charles Collingwood (later to be a sidekick of Noel's Telly Addicts for a couple of series).
Collingwood asked questions while Manning made his usual hilarious gags, and they had a prize of a Bernard Under Manning award, which had the acronym of... oh, dear.
Gee, this quality format only lasted a series and was only broadcast in the South and South East. They couldn't make anymore because Southern Television was about to lose their franchise - an announcement they made the year beforehand. So, why they persisted on going ahead with this, we'll never know.
