Synopsis

Families (or groups of pensioners) are challenged to improve their health, weight and lifestyles via challenges which are scored in points for, e.g., amount of fat eaten or cigarettes smoked. If we recall correctly, the maximum score was 100 and it was split up equally into either four or five categories, with each member of the family contributing up to five points in each category.

After the programmes set the challenges, the second half of the series brings back the same people about 5 weeks later to see how they've got on, including a weigh-in on the Go For It! scales.

The team that scored the best won the coveted Go For It! breadboard, and everyone got branded rucksacks.

Key moments

At the end of the first series, all five families were brought together in the studio of a Go For It! Quiz.

Usually it was the parents' fags that brought the side down.
