This is from the Viewer TV magazine dated 6th June 1964...
How Well do you know the VIPs?
If you were faced with a panel of celebrities could you tell how each would react to such questions as...Do you think teenage marriages can survive? Do you think it is an indignity for men to help with housework? Do women make better car drivers than men?
Knowledge of the celebrity's personal life,his likes,dislikes and prejudices could help you make some shrewd guesses as to just how he would answer. And there you have the basic idea behind Friday night's "Celebrity Game."
Viewers will be invited to the studios and will have to explain just why they think members of a distinguished panel would reply "yes" or "no" to a set of questions. If they guess the celebrity's answer correctly (which is revealed later in the programme) they get £10 a time and can win up to a £1,000.
Three incorrect assessments means automatic disqualification. The viewers at home can submit questions and a £1 premium bond will be paid for each one used. Clive Goodwin master of ceremonies, requests: "Questions should be reasonably intelligent, not too personal and be such as to raise a bit of a laugh."
In the first programme, the line-up of well-known faces are all,with one exception,show business types. That exception is novelist,critic and science-fiction enthusiast Kingsley Amis. The girls include Fenella Fielding and film actress Susan Hampshire. Beatles manager Brian Epstein and comedian Groucho Marx are the male contingent.

If so, then The Celebrity Game was shown on Stv as well? Would this mean it was also shown on Border TV and Grampian TV as well William? If yes, then the only ITV station that so far, we are unsure broadcast The Celebrity Game would be Ulster TV? ...in William's post above it says 'can win up to a £1000', I wondered how much that would be in today's money in 2015 and the answer from on-line is a whopping £18,718.85, that is how much that £1000 in 1964 amounts to in today's money..

Hi Simon,
The Viewer TV magazine was definitely for STV viewers.
I can only (assume) it was also for Grampian and Border viewers? but I'm not sure? so I'll need to check next time I visit the library.

TV Times Friday June 19th 1964 An amusing anecdote about this programme, told by Miriam Karlin, featured in the episode of Southern's Tell Me Another shown by Talking Pictures TV on Thu 7 Jan 2016. The burden of it was that Zsa Zsa was - surprise, surprise - a bit of a camera hog and all round pain. Expect it's likely to come round in the repeat cycle at some point soon.
