Hosted by ex-Stars and Garters singing star Vince Hill, it was a kind of sequel to
BBC's They Sold A Million. That show featured not only songs but the stories behind
them. This version kept that approach and gained some new technological advancements,
notably the star's sidekick ERIC (Electronic Recall Information Collator). Computers
had been used as sidekicks before, like Saturday morning's Ed and Zed. Hill was joined
by The Young Generation as well as weekly musical guests, so it was only a gimmick
that that separated this from other shows.
Each week Hill and the dancers would be joined by guests, clips from old musicals
would be shown, and Hill would support all of this with trivia about the songs and
the musicals they came from, from the computer.
