What made you think of that?

I saw an I-Spy knock-off at some point last year. Can't remember the title or the subject; it clearly had the same format, just none of the branding and mythos. At the risk of falling for an urban legend: no Bellamy, no point.

I never had I-Spy, but I had Find 50 which I assume are the same.

I-Spy books were linked with a newspaper (??Daily Mail when it was a broadsheet) and there really was a Big Chief I-Spy who thought up the whole idea. He got obits in the nationals when he died, I seem to remember.

News Chron folded or was absorbed/became something else so suspect it ended up with the Mail

_Of course_ I did them as a child. Don't recall ever sending one away once I'd got enough points, though.

Better still, Victoria, my daughter, is also a fan of them. We've found some pretty obscure road/roadside signs!
