What happens
Crosswits is a British game show produced by Tyne Tees in association with Cove Productions and Action Time, and filmed from Tyne Tees' City Road studios in Newcastle upon Tyne. First shown on 3 September 1985, it was originally hosted by Barry Cryer for the first two series; comedian Tom O'Connor then took over from series 3 until the show ended on 23 December 1998. The show consisted of two members of the public competing against each other to solve simple crossword puzzles. A "celebrity" partner helped each player. The announcers for the show were generally Tyne Tees, as well as continuity announcers Judi Lines, Jonathan Morrell and Bill Steel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
