    Can anyone remember this quizshow (prob late 80's)?

    I can't remember anything specific about the show itself (format etc) but what I do remember was the object of the game was to get around the world by drawing a line from city to city until you had circumnavitgated the globe. You did so by answering questions from the quizmaster and moving to the next city. IIRC the set was fairly darkly lit (think Mastermind).

    There was an impressive LED wall display that showed your progress and that seemed to be the only reason I was watching it iirc.

    Just to finish, this WASN'T "Where in the World" with Theresa Lowe and wasn't an Irish show (was prob ITV).

    I saw a few seconds of Busmans just now. I don't think that was it.

    Also Busmans seemed to be a 8pm time sorta show where as the one I'm thinking of was prob not prime-time. I'm thinking maybe a 5pm preNews sort of slot perhaps.

    I'd hazard a guess that it was 'Worldwise' with David 'Kid' Jensen on Children's ITV from 1985-1987

    I remember the lines going from city to city, the objective was to cross the International Date Line by answering questions.

    Fairly Hi-tech for it's time, alright.


    Can't find a clip of it but there's a little bit more info here

    ^^ That sounds like the one. No footage online unfortunately so I can't confirm it. :(
