Game 82

The night a man walked up there

Up late, together

The game's question

Settle in as if for a long evening; the year may follow the scene.

One of those nights many people can still place. The whole family stayed up in front of the set, on the BBC or ITV, and nobody wanted to go to bed. On the screen, a man stepped onto the Moon for the very first time. It was summer, late in the sixties. Which year was it?

  • 1959
  • 1969
  • 1979
Need a hint?

It was the very last summer of that decade. Ask your mum or dad who stayed up with them that night, and who fell asleep.

See the answer

Answer: 1969 – the night of 20 to 21 July, the family up late together.

Why this game : Placing a night the whole family watched live gives a sure date – and the story of where each of you was.
