This was a game show in Australia, based on the old radio (then TV) format of Pick-A-Box. The premise was essentially that you'd answer questions, and qualify to either pick money, or pick a box with a mystery prize. The prize ranged from a ball of string to a new car, with the typical spoils of Australian TV game shows - new kitchens, holidays, appliances and the like.
Bert Newton, an Australian TV legend, gave a zest and sparkle to this tired format, which lifted it to a higher level to what a lesser host would have given. Patti, his popular and bubbly wife, co-hosted. I've given it a five, as it was worth a 10 if you liked gameshows, and a zero if you didn't.
