What happens

Concentration is a game show originally aired from 16 June 1959 to 7 June 1960 by Granada and was initially hosted by David Gell from its inception in 1959 (Chris Howland and David Gell each hosted in 1960). It was later revived by TVS from 4 September 1988 to 2 March 1990, hosted first by Nick Jackson, then by Bob Carolgees. Both versions were shown on ITV, while the American version with Alex Trebek was also shown by Sky One in the 1990s. A small scale format of the game (called Pick A Pair) also was used in the BBC Saturday morning children's programme The Saturday Picture Show in the mid 1980s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
