Advent Calendar 2020 Day 21: Tomorrow's World Christmas Quiz, 1986

We've featured Tomorrow's World Christmas Quizzes on here before but never before the very first of the seven straight contests that replaced the usual format and allowed Howard Stableford to don an appropriate jumper. You should know the rigmarole by now - a mystery item is revealed, the regular presenters and the odd guest give conflicting explanations of what it's for, the audience use their proto-early You've Been Framed! multiple choice pads to vote for what they think it is, a guest panel give their verdict. This year the panel are Colin Baker in his Who outfit, Heather Couper and the director of the Science Museum. One of the potential answers involves a horse so RELEASE THE BOWNESS, alongside Kenny Everett with a model cow, Roland Rat with some things that vibrate, Ian McCaskill dropped from the heavens and Ray Reardon doing the machine gun trick shot, because he was a snooker player on a LE show that had room for a table so not to do it would have been against the law.
