Programme 5, 2020
Stuart Maconie hosts the quiz that tests contestants' knowledge of the culture and events of different decades.
(5/6)
If you remember the boxing match nicknamed the 'Rumble in the Jungle', the first ever female Speaker of the House of Commons, or the writer Colin Welland telling Hollywood 'the British are coming', there's a chance you'll know the answers to at least some of Stuart Maconie's questions in the multi-generational quiz.
Three more contestants are tested on the events and culture of different decades within living memory, answering questions on their own chosen decade as well as another 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 are plenty of memory-jogging 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.
