Synopsis
Get Mucky was the gameshow element in ITV's Saturday morning travelling extravaganza Get Fresh.
Two teams of two kids played. Or rather one person played - the "boffin", whilst the other one - the "fall guy", risked getting gunged if their teammate lost.
Whoever had the highest score after ninety seconds of playing a computer game (Starglider on an Atari ST, or shoot-em-up Xenon on an Amiga) won. Their teammate got to pull the cord releasing a bucket of gunge over their opponent's head. And that's it.

As we remember, for some reason the end-of-level boss would drain away their points.
Catchphrases
