70's guess the celebrity type show

[tonyfinster]

I was having the usual beery conversation about things gone by with my pub quiz mates and we all seem to have a vague recollection about a 'guess who' type tv show where
they had a palm reader, an astrologer and a hand writing reader.
They would have to look at the birthday, sample handwriting and palm photo and try to work out who the celebrity was.
I cant remember who the presenter was but i think he was a news show presenter on nationwide or look north or something like that.
Any ideas?

Mystery solved, I found it!!!
apparently it was only shown in the look north area.....it was called Lifelines and was hosted by khalid aziz.
I also just remembered the bizarre and strangely awful hand knitted jumpers russell grant used to wear on it.

Reminds me of that other show 'Who's Baby'. Poor kids getting paraded on TV just so you could guess who their famous parent was, like they had no identity of their own! I used to like watching it though.

I enjoyed watching this too even if it was a bit wrong!

Wasn't Who's Baby presented by Bernie Winters and Schnorbitz ?
