Shammy Dab

Shammy Dab is a Scottish comedy panel game show that aired on Grampian Television from 8 January 1985 to 1 June 1989.

History
Shammy Dab was created in 1975 by Bill Torrance as part of a series for Radio Forth in Edinburgh entitled Fair Flummoxed. The radio version mainly featured Scottish country dance bands.

The name was changed to 'Shammy Dab' (referring to a cheap wall decoration where a wall was stippled with a wet sponge - when done well, it was said to be a shammy dab).

Transmissions
In later years, the series was also aired on Border Television and Scottish Television.
