Stuart Maconie tests how much contestants of different ages know about their own favourite decades, and those of their opponents

(4/6)
Three more contestants from around the UK join Stuart Maconie for the quiz that focuses on different decades within living memory. They'll each be answering questions on their own particular chosen decade - which could be the one they grew up in, or one they know plenty about for some other reason. They then also have to answer on a different decade, in which they were significantly younger, or older, or perhaps not even born. Stuart hopes to find out just how much the generations know about one another's heroes, heroines and heritage.

There'll be plenty of news clips, TV themes, extracts from pop songs and familiar voices from different decades. The questions cover popular culture, sport, politics and world events, technological innovations and social history. Whatever your age, you may find yourself surprised at some of the things you know that the contestants don't.
