Style Trial came out during the Yuppie Era. When you had style over substance and this was a poor panel game where three celebrities attempted to deduce the lifestyles of members of the public from clues in a short film.
It was an attempt to do a funky version of 'Through the Keyhole' but with ordinary members of the public. In reality many were wannabe poseurs.

Helen Atkinson-Wood did her sterling best to make the show entertaining and funny, but this was a poor format, the celebrities were often left floundering.
