The shows I used to watch as a kid were Get your own back, 50/50, Gladiators, The crystal maze, Fun house, Finders keepers & Fort Boyard

[@WaterCrane]

As a child in the 90s, I adored Run the Risk, Get Your Own Back (although the forfeit furnace horrified me, especially when they dropped MegaDrive games and teddy bears into it), Activ8 and who can forget The Crystal Maze, first with Richard O'Brien and then Ed Tudor-Pole!

36:21 ( What loved as a kid was Young Krypton Factor for the kids) and i recall the assault course was a feature of the American Adventure Theme Park where they filmed the Assault Course for kids

[@andrewfishpool89]

31:25 is me. 😁

[@moonbook12]

Cool

[@HaydenOmega2006]

1:00:16 if I were to tell you that this guy was going to be a gladiator, would you believe me?

[@lobotomykush5710]

Cant belive they didn't mention. The fun house

[@WaterCrane]

The unlikely sources aren't that all unlikely honestly. One of the most prolific game show winners of all time in the UK was Daphne Fowler (who appears at 21:47), who won Fifteen to One TWICE (and that wasn't easy!) and Going for Gold. Older people tend to acquire a lot of general knowledge and also calmness under pressure.

Even with game shows, the Brits are always worried about or concerned with what the Americans are doing.

[@jacetaneneko_vt]

0:40 and then he goes on the circle

[@epsleon]

1:12:19 To be fair to Eamon, that's a BS question. The Korean War only had 3 years of fighting (nearly 20 years for Vietnam) but they never signed a peace treaty. The Korean War is technically still going on, it's just in a cold war (ironic, as it was a proxy war for the US-USSR cold war).

[@ITFC_Mark]

That last fella had the right attitude. Proper supporter through thick and thin

[@LordBikealot]

Great times!

[@brianjones7907]

The winning contestant shown on the Sale of the Century 20:26 Daphne , is none other than Daphne Fowler one of the EggHeads on the BBC Gameshow Eggheads.....

[@thesegacampgamerandwerecam7504]

I dunno why they think Anne Robinson is Evil doing The Weakest Link! I saw the Show here in Canada and she was ok! "Ice Queen" I would call her but not Evil!

[@helencolgan8580]

What about the Golden Shot and Bernie the Bolt on Sunday evenings?

[@collinhunter9792]

yep, there were a lot missed out, esp older ones, ae

[@collinhunter9792]

[@billybollockhead5628]

Ah! Good ol' C&C shows! (Cnuts and Clips!). . Z Listers pretending to remember something for a paycheque.

[@collinhunter9792]

[@collinhunter9792]

they should find out who wrote those rhymes on 321. it wasnt ted tho, was it?

[@dementednun1175]

They never mentioned Dame Edna's nebiourhood watch that was an innovation in itself snooping around people's houses live

[@joelowes7893]

Thankfully in later seasons of get your own back they got rid of the forfeit furnace mind you OT SHOULD NOT OF BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

[@Dim4323]

Blame the kid who brought the bear in.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

IDK about you.. but were i live we dont have "weathergirls" the people presenting the weather is actual meteorologists that know what they are looking at & talking about..

[@GirGir183]

Good Lord what a waste of valuable time.
