This discussion show was another translation from radio, this time from Radio Four. News reporter Michael Buerk chaired a regular panel to ponder on weighty moral issues. Much of it took the form of cross-examining invited experts who were brave enough to take the chair. The panel had a fairly right wing bias and this was where I first came across pugnacious historian David Starkey and the fearsome Janet Daley for the first time.
The TV version didn't take off and only lasted for six episodes but the programme continues to thrive on radio where it has been running for 28 years now.
