Oo, I almost missed this. Eddie is right; it was Donald Baverstock. He was a noted BBC TV producer and for a time, Controller of Programmes.

Hmmm. I'm guessing some of the words here, but...

Hadn't forgotten this either, honestly! I just don't think I've ever devised a ditloid before.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
The trouble with this type of game is we can't get any clues along the way... for instance I would like to guess S-S is Secret Seven but I can't think of what comes next!

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Except Secret Seven isn't hyphenated. 'G to the F' could be 'goes to the front'. 'F T' could be 'Family Tree', but probably not both together. Scratches head.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Yes.. the hyphen is intriguing. I must say "F T made me think 'Fawlty Towers' at first!

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
And she is! Well done, Anita. I thought the S-S would get everyone thinking "Secret Seven" first, but the hyphen is the giveaway...
