Synopsis

Anarchic kids show. Two teams of kids throw lots of gunge around for twenty five minutes, jeered on by celebrities and (we think) ex-stars of Tiswas. Games included 'Down The Drain', 'Nellyball', 'Hat Catchers' and 'Teach 'em a lesson'

According to the TV Times, it was 'Britain's messiest game show'. We'll think about that.
