TV quiz staged at the Capitol
In the 1960s I was part of the team representing Forest Girls’ School in the Full Marks quiz – against the Boys’ School, filmed at The Capitol Theatre.
The quizmaster was Kenneth Horne – he put us all at ease before the show, giving us wine gums and being very jovial and kind.

I enclose a copy of the picture featured in the West Sussex County Times during the filming (I am second from left).
