Host

Objective for BBC 1, 5 August 1996 - 27 March 1997 (73 episodes in two series)
Synopsis
Amiable, if unoriginal, celebrity word game which filled the BBC1 lunchtime pre-news slot. Alphabets being something of an international requirement, it has subsequently sold to bucketloads of countries - most notably in Spain where Pasapalabra runs as a big money game show. Why Andrew O'Connor hasn't bought Trinidad and Tobago from the proceeds, we don't know.
