    Knightmare, used to be on UTV IIRC.

    It was the one where a team had to guide one of their friends through a virtual dungeon world.

    Quite creepy looking back on it now, it used to terrify me but entertaining and unique none the less.

    Could you imagine if they got Irish people to do this?

    We've got Patsy who's 63 and is a housewife from Mayo...take your bra off please Patsy :eek:

    I was going to say "Blockbusters", but it looks like it's still running according to Wiki.

    So I'll say "The Krypton Factor".
    They had the obstacle course, a flight simulator round where you had to land a 747 on a runway, some form of spatial awareness/physical puzzle round and the usual quiz rounds.

    Just start a row about dark matter in Stephen Hawkings support group to reenact that.

    Catchphrase was just the dogs bollox

    Also loved gladiators but the new one was a bit useless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Catchphrase!

    You Bet!

    Saturday night TV now is some form of Chinese torture/character breakdown. Seeing Paddy McGuinness host entitled chav weemin is one thing. But when someone let Ray Foley do an Irish version, it redefined for me what 'hate' is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Ilyana


    Does Blind Date count?!

    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    For catchphrase fans

    http://www.purely-games.com/catchphrase.html

    when you get the phrase instead of clicking for another just refresh the page.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    It has to be Quicksilver, surely :D

    Stop the lights Bunny (great game show host name). Didn't Bunny make off with bags full of money from Gorta or was that an urban myth (they said that's where the "it was resting in my account" line from Fr Ted came from).

    I'd love to see Sale of The Century back. Hughie Green another great game show host name. You could end up buying a car and a motorboat for £900.

    Knightmare or that show with Anneka Rice in a helicopter

    Think it was called 'Tutti Fruitti' or something. Was mentioned in a couple of the Irish football players autobiographies. They used to head off to bed early during Italia '90 to watch it!

    "Treasure Hunt"

    Or the cheesy rip-off/spin-off "The Interceptor" which had a great theme tune !
