Shown my 9 year old this tonight, he absolutely loved it, I told him how all the kids loved this and every school out there will have had kids pestering teachers to enter their school lol Everyone wanted to go on this, the swimming was the best for me, it encouraged me to learn to swim, such a positive thing for kids and they had sod all these days. Thanks for sharing, we need more on KZbin

Nonsense. Every generation of kids remembers the things they did and watched just as vividly as we remember the things we did and watched. There was also a huge amount of dross on TV when we were kids that we've long forgotten.

@@TheFusedplug I used to love watching We are the Champions when I was young. I never went on it nor did anyone else from my school; as far as I’m aware we were never invited to participate. There was a “finals” episode from 1984 on KZbin with Duncan Goodhew as guest, but it appears to have been taken off for whatever reason. It was filmed at Wilmslow leisure centre. This is very close to the train station (you can see it as you pass from the train) so about three years ago I went there and had a swim. It hasn’t changed in 35 years! One member of staff I got talking to actually remembered the program being filmed and they spoke to Ron Pickering! Amazing eh?
