TV series

Face the Music

1966–1984, English, on BBC Two. Created by Walter Todds.

Chaired by Joseph Cooper, Face the Music took the form of a quiz, with a panel of three music-loving celebrities, but without scoring or a winner. Each week, there would be a special guest, who would also have to answer questions – with the focus being on topics that related to the guest's life and career, so as to lead to amusing anecdotes. The questions to the panel were asked in a series of rounds, each with a theme, such as "The Face, The Music", where the panel would have to identify a composer from their picture, as well as the composer of the music played along with it.
