Anyone get to go on any 90s kids shows?

[PatSharpsMullet]

Was reminiscing with dsis about our favourite kid shows in the nineties and how we desperately wanted to go on 'funhouse' or 'get your own back' 😂 and I realised that all those kids who got to live the dream will be grown ups around our age now! So was anyone here lucky enough to go on that type of game show In their childhood? And if yes, what was it like? Was it as fun as it looked? What was the host like? And did you win anything good lol

I didn’t but I always wanted to go on fun house! Finders keepers was another that always looked good. I always thought the prizes were cool as my parents would never be able to afford them. Citv did a birthday celebration weekend a few years ago when they played all the old programmes and we watched it with the DCs, the prizes looked cheap and awful lol. DD1 couldn’t believe I got so excited about a radio that played tapes or a skateboard with a turtle on it

I lived near the Meridian studios when I was a kid. They would often draft in kids from the local schools. So I have been on a few.
Mouse Trap, Gunge Em in the dungeon, Motor Mouth and Finders Keepers.
Weirdly I don't remember a lot about the presenters. pat Sharp was quite funny.

I went on Live and kicking. But I was 17 😳

I really wanted to go on the programme where you had to completely trash every room in a studio house to find things? Was that Finders Keepers?

We used to play our own versions of Funhouse and The Crystal Maze at home

No but I would have loved to be on Funhouse or Crystal Maze. Or Blue Peter (I did get a green BP badge which I still have). Went to the London Crystal Maze Experience last year (in my 30s) and it was AMAZING and soooo mich fun. There’s one in Manchester. It’s exactly like the TV show!

Crystal Maze experience

Yes! Eggs and Baker with Cheryl baker 😂😂

I was filmed for Child's Play... But they didn't use my clip!

Yes- Playdays! (this show: ). We had to walk around in the rain and jump in puddles. I was tiny but apparently they promised that we (my playgroup) would meet Why Bird but then we didn't get to!

This one ... Not the one with Chucky!

@EmilyRosEi that brings back memories!

My brother went to auditions for fun house and junior blind date ( don't know if that ran(. I knew somebody that got on blockbusters as well.

My school was on 50/50. The show presented by Sally Gray, had 50 pupils from 2 schools compete in games/questions. DH is adamant he can't remember and it must've only been shown in Scotland (i grew up in Scotland, DH in London).

It was an awesome day but spoiled a bit by the fact that there were 60 kids in my year and 10 didn't get to go. Names were pulled from a hat

Al those programmes that involved slime and cold beans and shaving foam. Why don’t they make em like this anymore? Wasn’t Neil Buchanan one of the best??

DH is adamant he can't remember and it must've only been shown in Scotland (i grew up in Scotland, DH in London).

Your DH is very wrong! I grew up in England and 50/50 was one of my favourite programmes as a kid - always wanted to go on it

I desperately wanted to be on Funhouse, my Nan said she contacted them and they said I was too young. She obviously didn’t but it made me shut up about it at the time

My concept of the UK population size was poor at that age. I used to watch Funhouse, GYOB, live and kicking etc and EXPECT to see my own friends competing.

I was on chat and splat on Wacaday!

My friend went on finders keepers. She won a pgl holiday and I got to go with her.

I didn't get to go on any. I wanted to go on Crystal Maze and I actually wrote to Jim'll Fix It, but now I'm glad I wasn't chosen!!

I was in the audience for Gladiators once though.

My uni house-mate was on in-house- loved watching that vid was brilliant!
Also an ex-colleague was one of the why don't you "presenters"

My friend went on Jim'll fix it. She said he was weird.

Itv filmed Dig It at a place I worked once. They were all rude and grumpy.

Mallets mallet. Always wanted to be on that. Anyone else spend ages playing it at home?

SIL was on 'Cheggars Plays Pop' ( for those of us who remember the 70's!)

I really wanted to go on Finders Keepers or Fun House.....they should bring those shows back! We used to play Crystal Maze at home, my Mum was less than impressed when we played Finders Keepers!

I had friends that went on funhouse.

I was so jeal
