Synopsis
Who-am-I based quiz for kids set in a mocked up street.
First round would see eight kids face off next to some traffic lights. Answering two questions correctly would turn the light from red to amber to green and they were through to the game proper.
The kids would sit on bikes with bells to buzz in with. The host would read out clues pertaining to a thing, meanwhile a parking meter ticked away the points. The faster the kid got it, the more points they won, but ringing in with the wrong answer meant that a "quack quack" sound was heard and they would have to take some rubbish to the skip and sit in it. Being sent to the skip three times meant elimination from the game. The thing being described would usually appear behind the large red door in the middle of the "street", either in chromakey form or Peter Simon dressing up.
The winner got to play the endgame where they had to find things hidden around the street with the clues provided.
Catchphrases
Steve Colman would start the show with, "Welcome to Knock Knock", then the audience would yell, "Who's there?" to which he'd reply, "Me here, with you there".
"It's a bag of rubbish - double drongo".
