Remembering The Krypton Factor with Gordon Burns

In 1977, Granada Television (which wasn't really known for producing many quizzes) launched a rather challenging game show for the ITV Network.

The Krypton Factor was presented by Gordon Burns and lasted nearly 20 years. At one point it was labelled 'TV's toughest'.

Here MIM's Ashley Byrne catches up with Gordon in a fascinating encounter which explains the thinking behind this rather complex show which mesmerised millions across all ages in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
