I spoke to James Sherry once when I worked at Foxtel!

[@CocoLainey]

OMG!!! I was on this show & Our Lady of Fatima was my school!!! 😂 It was a lot of fun - unfortunately our competitors not so much - but James was super lovely! He kept us laughing & he kept the show going because we legit had no idea what to do! 😆🤣

[@ladydeevine84]

The ads, the prize, the fact that I sooooo badly wanted my school to be chosen for this show when I was a kid, mate it made my day. I miss being a kid, adulting is hard and it sux

[@rudihardiansyah1108]

Some schools chosen twice for this show, like Vienna Woods State School 😀

[@propertyofranger]

We adored this show growing up! Every kid wanted to be a contestant and have a crack at the maze! Great times.

He'll yeah I loved this in the afternoon and then I binged abc till the simpsons came on lol

[@Kazooples]

I was so happy watching this, then I paused to think and now I’m sad. I know everyone says you remember your childhood fondly, but it was genuinely a better world back then, when I didn’t have to worry about the world being on fire. I’m content to carry the burden of growing up but knowing there’s nothing I can do to make the world better for people is painful. Anyway hehe bubsy bobcat

[@BomberFletch31]

I was in year 8 in 1994. I remember watching this when I got home from school. If memory serves, it was on at about 4pm or 4:30pm. I then watched Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Seven Nightly News, and Sale of the Century before going to bed. This channel brings back so many memories of my teenage years back in the 1990s.

[@pinecones-dk]

I cant believe I watched the whole thing and missed the ads the most. What a nostalgia hit 😊

This brings back memories long forgotten. Looks so cool

[@yusaldyhikmara4109]

I watched this in my country when I was a kid but didn't remember the show name. Until today someone posted this show screenshot in my former office whatsapp group asking what was the name of this show. And then somebody researched and came up with the answer. And that is how I ended up in this youtube video. Cheers to you all fellow 90s kids. 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿

I'm 33 years old this year. Suddenly, I remember this show which I saw as a kid years ago. Not too much. I just remember the maze. Greeting from Indonesia.

James Sherry was a good host but you could tell sometimes he had filmed 10 shows in 1 day and was sick to death of kids 😂

[@avengedsoul6661]

Yeah you can tell this one was done at the end of a string of recordings. He’s just not as upbeat as normal here.

These kids are now around 36 years old and James Sherry is 51!

Bring it back as a 7.30pm primetime show

[@djcat64]

It's about 1000 times better than the garbage that makes up prime time these days.

[@xshadowscreamx]

Well competition is frowned upon these days and the insurance would be more expensive than the show. Australian tv don’t like to spend money these days.

[@todcarter110]

This show was really good. They should bring it back.

The ads were so quick. Now ads run forever.

I think I watched this episode because I remember thinking 'the kid has tetris and can't play it for sh-t!" :)

[@MrSimplesimon1987]

Thanks Steve, Great to see one of these Earlier episodes. This is the original 90 second key run challenge. If I remember correctly, they changed it to 120 seconds in 1995 onwards. One team found all 7 keys in one of the 90 second runs. Love to see that again. Thanks again. Please keep them coming. Best game show ever.

[@StFidjnr]

James Sherry had a bet that he is putting up his hair that says there's at least 1 key (intact) in the maze

[@cherrypizza]

Not quite. Five keys were found in the 90 second run. After it was extended to 120 seconds, James said in his commentary once that they hoped/figured that the extra 30 seconds would allow the other two keys to be found. The one time that all seven keys were found, it was in a 120 second run. It was on a Thursday of the first week of a series. James came back from hiatus sporting a very small goatee. He was asked if he'd honour the two-series-ago promise of getting his head shaved, but compromised to getting the beard shaved off.

[@Redstar2613]

I'm sure he was just trying to joke around but taking a kids name and using it like he did at 15:35 is just what a bully would do, so he just (unintentionally, I'm sure) gave potential bullies some ammunition. If they hadn't thought about it before, they wouldn't have forgotten to tel her to "Jemma sock in it" after that. When he starts talking, she smiles but afterwards, her smile fades instantly, as if she too realizes what he's done.
