The game's question
Clue after clue, no rush: one of you names the first half of the pair, the other the second.
Christmas 1977. The dinner things cleared away, the paper hats still on and the whole family settled in front of the telly for the double act everyone was waiting for. Their Christmas show drew 28 million viewers that night – around half the country, a record for an entertainment programme. Which pair was it? Circle them together.
- Steptoe and Son
- Morecambe and Wise
- Bill and Ben
Need a hint?
Two surnames joined by ‘and’. The second is also a word for clever – the kind of person you go to for advice.

Answer: Morecambe and Wise – their Christmas show of 1977, 28 million viewers.
Why this game : Laughing at the same sketch on the same night as half the country – a Christmas you can share all over again.
