When I was a kid, this was one of my favourite children's game shows, well, it was one of my favourite shows on CITV. Hosted by Pat Sharp, quite often mentioned for having a large mullet during the first few years, it basically sees two teams of two child contestants competing in three messy, filled with gunge, games to win points. There would also be questions for more points, before moving to a go-kart grand Prix, racing for points, and whoever won would be the team going into the Fun House, a large indoor play area. They have two minutes to make their way through the Fun House, going through obstacles and mini challenges, and on the way collecting tags for prizes, including the Power Prize which meant a holiday with a correct answer to a question. Obstacles in the Fun House included the Wild Slide, Sneaky slip 'n' Slide, the Ball Run, the Fireman's Pole, the Crawl Tube, the Balloon Tunnel, the Monster Maze, the Bob Sleigh, the Danger Net, the Climbing Net and the Giant Steps. I think there was a part of me watching wishing that I was playing the game, i.e. being inside such a great looking indoor play area like that, and obviously for the prizes, the gunge of course looked hilariously gross, a good fun show. Very good!
