Scope and content
Brightly coloured general knowledge board game 'The Great Marvello' with a black and white picture of Éamon Andrews. Contains 4 reversible quiz sheets and a plastic Marvello figure.
In this ‘magic robot’ game, a figurine tries to rotate to the correct answer. (Magnets, dear boy.) The game’s impresario, Eamonn Andrews, went to school in Synge Street CBS, just south of here. Andrews is best remembered as presenter of This Is Your Life, which he fronted for nearly 30 years until his death in 1987.
