Knock Your Block Off
Synopsis
Clever and memorable kids' game. This was a segment which appeared as part of TX (presented by Tony Slattery and Sue Robbie), one of the several ITV Saturday morning kids' shows that tried to take on the stranglehold the BBC exerted with Saturday Superstore.
Both teams of two children had a wall of bricks, atop which was a line of gold-coloured bricks. Each time a team got a question right, the other team had 10 seconds to knock out one brick of their own wall. This was achieved by long poles with a bulbous ends. Failure to do this in the allotted time meant a Bean Bag Attack - opponents threw bean bags at your wall for a few seconds. If any of the gold bricks fell off, you lost.
