486 You Must Be Joking !

First  viewed :  Spring  1981

This  is  one  I'd  forgotten, another  vehicle  for  the  increasingly  ubiquitous  Terry  Wogan.

Terry  hosted  this  Saturday  evening  quiz  where  two  large  teams  of  members  of  the  public  watched  a  short  film  or  listened  to  a   star  guest's  surprising  secret   and  then  had  to  decide  whether  it  was  true  or  not. Much  of  it  was  scripted  by  soon-to-be-famous  prankster  Jeremy  Beadle.

The  only  thing  I  remember  is  Tel  admonishing  Bernie  Clifton  for  all  his  secrets  being  whoppers.

The  series  only  ran  for  10  programmes  and  has  never  been  repeated.
