Contents

Premise

This series featured a series of conversations which explored beliefs and morals, sometimes of a religious nature. Charles Templeton featured segments on Moral Re-Armament and on Malcolm Boyd, a film producer who became an Episcopal clergyman. Other topics included French Canadian culture, the potential for a Canadian motion picture industry, the National Hockey League and suicide.

Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast alternate Sundays at 10:30 p.m. (Eastern) from 20 October 1963 to 26 July 1964. Horizon was aired on the other Sundays.

Reception

NHL referee Red Story, an interview subject on Question Mark, later complained that his statements were omitted from the broadcast to such an extent as to provide a distorted impression of his employers.
