This is the first of five incarnations of the Match Game Show. Featuring celebritries as panel members who 'filled in' the blanks of the questions by writing their solution on a card. Contestants would try to match the celebrities answer(s). Simple but enjoyable for quiz show fans. Some humour often resulted between the host and panel members.
