Noughts and Crosses was an Australian television game show which aired live on Sundays from 1957[1] to 1960 on Melbourne station HSV-7. The half-hour series was hosted by Geoff Raymond,[2] though Danny Webb hosted four episodes in 1960.[3][4] Archival status of this game show is unknown.

Gameplay[edit]

The format was described in the 2 July 1959 issue of The Age: "Contestants are asked to choose subjects on which they are asked questions. Their answers provide the moves to the noughts and crosses board."[5]
