SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

US television panel/quiz show hosted by Gary Moore. Each of the four panellists sat together on one side of a plain set and took a 30-second turn questioning and then guessing a contestant’s secret. The contestants were a mixture of ‘ordinary’ people and celebrities and the panellists were usually celebrities. Each episode used four contestants. In this 5th Anniversary episode, show staffers took part including stage manager Joe Papp (later known as Joseph Papp) recites a speech of Mark Antony’s from Julius Caesar with Henry Morgan.
