    1 9 8 5 – 1 9 8 6 (UK)

    Chirpy Cockney chappie Gary Crowley (well-known to viewers in the London area as a DJ on Capital Radio) presented this Wednesday afternoon ITV programme which was a spin-off from Runaround.

    Kids had to answer questions based on pop music, deciding which was the correct answer from a choice of three.

    Winners received a gold disc with a specially engraved plaque.

    The theme tune was provided by Terry and Jerry (no, me neither).
