What happens
Top of the Form is a BBC radio and television quiz show for teams from secondary schools in the United Kingdom which ran for thirty-eight years, from 1948 to 1986. The programme began on Saturday 1 May 1948, as a radio series, at 7.30pm on the Light Programme. It progressed to become a TV series from 1962 to 1975. A decision to stop the programme was announced on 28 September 1986 and the last broadcast was on Tuesday 2 December. The producer, Graham Frost, was reported to have said it had been cancelled because the competitive nature of the show jarred with modern educational philosophy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
