Star Test (TV series)

British TV series or programme

Star Test is a British TV programme that ran from 4 April 1989 to 17 March 1991 on Channel 4.[2] The show took an interview format, in which the guest "star" was seated facing directly to camera, questioned by an unseen voice (Kara Noble).[3] The topics discussed were chosen from an on-screen menu, after which the interviewee selected questions by number from an unseen list.[4] The show was lampooned in two British comedy sketch shows; French and Saunders and Bo' Selecta!, the latter being some 12 years after Star Test ended.
