The Starlost (1973)

Episode Overview

Hosted by Victoria Coren, this quiz show challenges contestants to rely not just on their knowledge, but also on their patience and creative thinking. In the final quarter-final, a family team made up of a patent lawyer, a graphic designer, and a business analyst faces off against a trio of friends bonded by their passion for traditional cask-conditioned ales. The two teams strive to uncover the links between seemingly unrelated topics, ranging from early transport returns to the destruction of a fishpond, along with themes of sacrilege and treason.
