A later question in the same episode was to name anything that
can come next in this sequence:

* ’1 Songs of Praise 

* ’2 Steptoe and Son

* ’3 Doctor Who 

* ? ? ?

(It’s BBC TV shows which started in those years in the sixties,
so any show from 1964 would do. This time I didn’t get it;
I got distracted by Steptoe and DW and thought it was Ron
Grainer themes!)
