Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The British game show Worldwise was aimed at younger viewers -- albeit only those with a cursory knowledge of world geography. Each time one of the kiddie contestants answered correctly, he or she moved upward on a huge gameboard designed to resemble a map. Those contestants who came closest to "traveling round the world" within the episode's half-hour time span were declared the winners. Hosted by two of Britain's most popular radio DJs, David "Kid" Jensen and Emma Freud, Worldwise originally aired from 1984 to 1986.
