Current presenters Past presenters have included The show began in 1966 as How. The series was popular in the Seventies, with Dinenage, Jack Hargreaves, Jon Miller and Bunty James (later replaced by Marian Davies). It was designed to provide answers to questions beginning with the word "How". Each episode began with the presenters all raising one hand and saying "How" simultaneously (playing on the stereotypical Native American greeting). Common topics covered included science, history, mathematics, and simple puzzles. The series came to an end in 1981 when Southern Television lost its ITV franchise, but was revived as How 2 in 1990 by TVS. In 2006 How 2 returned with the same presenters after a year's break from the last series. A similar CITV show to appear a few years later was The Big Bang, presented by How 2s own Gareth Jones and journalist Violet Berlin (whose former credits include video-games show ''Bad Influence'', also on CITV). The Big Bang had a more scientific slant, focusing on performing fun experiments involving simple physics and chemistry. Other similar British televisions series included Don't Ask Me. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
