First watched : Summer 1974
More brain-box fodder as the Beeb came up with a thinly-disguised rival to How on the other channel featuring the seventies' version ( albeit less telegenic ) of Brian Cox, James Burke. The Beeb's go-to presenter for anything scientific hosted the show where clever children posed tough-ish questions to a panel of three eggheads ( from a pool of eight ). Alas the series proved a little too cerebral for its Monday teatime slot and wasn't on long enough to turn the academics into celebs. Only eight episodes were broadcast between July and September 1974 and never repeated.
There's a nice little piece recalling the series here.
