Host

Broadcast

Buena Vista Productions and GMTV for ITV, 13 April 1996 to 7 March 1998

Synopsis

A Saturday Morning kids show airing cartoons, but padded out with a gunge-based gameshow involving two teams of kids completing tasks around a large crazy house (sounds like Crazy Cottage to me!)

The games were played in each room of the house (Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen etc etc), games often involved gunge and large oversized objects.

Geez, Crazy Cottage didn't look wonky like this during their era.

The final game was played with the winning team, within 60 seconds they had to throw dirty socks at the open windows at the front of the house to try and knock over pictures of people in the windows, if they hit the picture of "Gary The Ghost" he would appear and custard pie the contestants, in the style of The Phantom Flan Flinger from Tiswas

GARGH! I'M A SCARY GHOST! Nah, It's just me...Gary!

-There was a character on this show called Gary the Ghost who went around throwing pies at the contestants. In one game, the contestants had to throw dirty laundry at pictures on the giant windows of the house to knock them down. If they hit a picture of Gary, he'd magically appear and give the contestants a pieing.

-Another game featured one contestant inside a gunge tank, with shapes cut out of the front. Another member had to search the bathroom and find shapes hidden around the place, and if they didn't find all the shapes in 60 seconds, their friend was gunged.
