British version of "Hollywood Squares" (qv) with nine celebrities of varying stature arranged in a grid and answering questions from host Bob Monkhouse to win prizes for one of two contestants. During the first run in the late 1970s, William Rushton occupied the centre square in virtually every edition. After a decade's break, the series returned for a few more years in the early 1990s but was not as popular. Written by Allen Dace
