The Year in Question

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Q: Why is Simon Bates , along with six ladies and gentlemen of the press, in the upstairs bar of a Fleet Street pub?
A: He is hosting the first of a seven-part knockout contest between eight national newspapers.
Today's teams, from the Daily Mirror and The Daily Telegraph, exercise natural rivalries as they face questions from the past. Q: Which year?
A: It was the year when a British Dansette transistor radio would have cost £6 19s 6d, and an official body did away with 400 million seconds!
