Missing Answers
[N television, What’s My Line? may be the BBC’s most entertaining programme; in radio I should rank it as only average good entertainment, though I realise that constant listening may give the personalities taking part a chance to make theit own headway. But I’d like to see the programme slanted still more to the human side than to the intellectual. These followers of unusual occupations are probably interesting people. The programme as it stands demands that they should be regarded as mere guinea-pigs for the panel, their personalities confined within the strait-jacket of yes-or-no answers. But sometimes the satisfaction I feel in the panel’s prowess is not enough to outweigh the dissatisfaction I feel in never knowing the answer to questions such as "Why did that nice Miss-So-and-So become a Private Eye?" ;
