Did Arthur Lowe appear in the adverts for Trillions sweets or Hanky Panky popcorn? Who marketed those essential gadgets the Record Vacuum Cleaner and the Buttoneer?
What was the real name of Opportunity Knocks winner the Musical Muscle-Man?
Danny Baker hosts this new seven-part comedy panel game which features two celebrity teams answering questions like these about a bygone era. As
