Did Arthur Lowe appear in the adverts for Trillions sweets or Hanky Panky popcorn? Who marketed those essential gadgets the Record Vacuum Cleaner and the Buttoneer? What was the real name of Opportunity Knocks winner the Musical Muscle-Man? Danny Baker hosts this seven-part comedy panel game which features two celebrity teams answering questions like these about a bygone era.

As Baker says, we all find it easier to recall trivial items than important ones. We may not want to remember all the words to the first commercials for Smith's Crisps, but we often do.

If you're still puzzled, the answers to the questions above are Hanky Panky popcorn, Ronco and Tony Holland.
