English). It was written by Robin Chapman (British).
Why not just tell us the name of the programme rather than forcing us to
guess?
Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Chapman suggests that it could
be either "Spindoe" or "Big Breadwinner Hog", neither of which I have ever
heard of (I was aged 11 or 12 at the time).
