I'm looking for a show I watched in England

Well, when I went to England with my sister Christmas 2002, there was this show we watched that we both liked, but neither of us can remember the name of. I'm hoping somebody who lives in England can help me out.

It wasn't a reality or drama, but a contestant type thing. I can't remember what exactly happened, but I think you had two teams of two kids, and there was different physical challenges. Except the kids didn't do them, they chose a competitor to do the challenges for them.

Does anybody know or remember this show, because I really want to know what it's called. Me and my sister really liked it, but it was so long ago that we've forgotten almost everything about it.

Thanks.

There's heaps of contest shows like that. Can you narrow it down? Remember anything specific?

Does sound like Get Your Own Back, a now-defunt children's show.

More specifics would really help on this one. Time? Which channel? Any notable people?

If it helps, there are some clips of Get Your Own Back on Youtube.

They've blurred out the kids' faces (don't really know why) but I think it used to be kids competing with their parents or something, and the parents were the ones who got dunked... I never really watched it, my cousins liked it, maybe someone can clarify that.

I watched the clip, and it wasn't GYOB. It was kids playing against each other. I can only remember one of the challenges, which was this big maze-type thing. Each competitor had to get the best time, but there were loads of levels and stuff. Oh, and there was a lot of music and smoke when each competitor came out, and they would always do a little routine when they walked down the ramp.

I can't really remember anything else. Sorry, and thanks everybody!

I'm thinking Jungle Run, was it? Or Raven? Or perhaps Fun House (though I doubt it, because that one finished in 1999 - but you never know - repeats!).

There's so many of them - are you sure you can't remember anything else?
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

It's not any of those, sorry.

I remember that it was filmed in a studio. Not like a set that looks like the outside or something, but an actual studio. And I think there was a lot of blue around, but you can't trust me completely on that. And there was a live audience.

50 to One? That was between two schools, so all kids.

Twit - do you mean 50/50? It could be that.

This thread brings back so many memories of rubbishy kid's tv shows. :lol:
I always wanted to be on one but I never got the chance... :(
If you're reading this, then you will have realised that I have a rubbish sig.

Maybe it was that thing... what do you call it? Jungle Run? That used to be on CITV, they had a maze I think... and smoke. But I don't know.. It sounds like 50/50, I used to hate that show, but I would still watch it :wink:

Yeah, that was 50/50 I was thinking of. I only saw it once, and it got cut off before the end.
