COAXING nervous contestants into song is one of the most difficult jobs facing Jack Maybury (left), genial quizmaster of the six-weeks-old ZB shows "Number, Please," and "Scoop the Pool." But Jack has. developed the knack of putting people at ease, and he always manages to get music from even the most relactant. So far, he says, the big prizes have eluded contestants, except for a special (portable) "pool," which went to a seaman from the American carrier Tarawa. In "Number, Please," the major award is valued at about £60, and the pool in "Scoop the Pool" at between £200 and £300. The programmes are being broadcast over the ZB network on Mondays and Wednesdays respectively.
