And to think had it not been for this incident, How Many Hats would not have been cancelled and it's eventual successor Numberwang may never have seen the light of day.

The problem with programming of this era was that people weren't wearing enough hats. By addressing this, HMH opened the floodgates for a variety of shows, including a "gameshow segment" for broadcast in times of national emergency. Truly groundbreaking

I think it is sending up the show "What's My Line?" which originated in the US. Other countries including the UK had their own versions. The panel had to guess the occupation of the various guests, i.e. their line of employment. One of the British show hosts was Gilbert Harding, who may be sent up in this sketch as panellist "Sir Geoffrey Whiting". This sketch is also parodying the general dreariness of the BBC in the 1950s and 60s.

When she asks if it's a 2 digit number and it's wrong, he says that's a point to him. But doesn't score himself the point, so it ends up 0-1. It may be too late to investigate, but surely this should be looked into, lest the BBC lose it's reputation for integrity! (Ahh wait, it lost any trace of that about 10 years ago :)).

It's clearly not because Through the Keyhole was never in black and white and was nothing like this. Saying that, it WAS the most recent episode of Through the Keyhole, where it was obviously Fatima Whitbread's house and the panel had to string it out a bit before guessing, that reminded me of this sketch and made me find it on KZitem. Of course, that episode of Through the Keyhole was in 2019 so it was done in a much more knowing way with Mr Lemon even mentioning Fatima Whitbread several times while asking the panel to guess.
