Criss Cross Quiz
Criss Cross Quiz was a television game show from Granada
based on noughts and crosses. The concept was imported from
America where it was known as Tic Tac Dough.
Host Jeremy Hawk had enjoyed a long career in music halls and
on London's West End stages. He also appeared on television as
straight man to Benny Hill, Arthur Askey and Norman Wisdom.
When he left the show in1962 he was replaced by Canadian-born
Barbara Kelly (best-known as a panellist on the British version of
What's My Line?).
A children's version of the show - Junior Criss Cross Quiz
- was produced the same year the adult version started although
the children played for prizes instead of money.
Presenters on the children's version were Jeremy Hawk, Chris
Kelly, Bob Holness, Mike Sarne, Chris Howland, Gordon Luck, Peter
Wheeler, Bill Grundy, Danny Blanchflower and Barbara Kelly.
