"A starter for ten"
A Brit one this. University Challenge was a very high-brow and fast moving knock-out quiz between British Universities. It was hosted by the very grand and colourfully named Bamber Gascoigne and ran for the majority of the '70s and early '80s. It was revived in the mid-'90s with Jeremy Paxton in the Questioners seat. Sadly I feel he lacks Bamber's charisma.
Each round started with a buzz-in from the two teams of four. The first to answer this starter question correctly got ten points and then got the chance to answer three more for five points each without interruption from the other team, sooooo......
Bamber would get the two teams on their marks by saying: "And your starter for ten"
