Five children who could out-answer any adult in the room
The joke that made the show work was that Joe Kelly, the host, had almost no formal education and could not have answered a single question — so he read them off the card and let the children be brilliant. It ran for thirteen years, produced several genuinely famous alumni, and sits at an interesting angle to the rest of quiz radio: an unashamedly intellectual programme aimed squarely at families, sponsored by a cereal, and enormously popular.
