Lashings of Fun: the Story of Ask the Family

on BBC Two England

In advance of Dick and Dom's new version of the quiz starting soon, the original programme, hosted by Robert Robinson , is recalled in this documentary, from the insufferably bright children to the less-than-inspiring graphics. Writer Tim Lott and ex-chief inspector of schools Chris Woodhead talk about the show while former contestants recall their experiences. There's the chance to revisit the series with a repeat of the 1983 final at 7.35.
