Synopsis

Four teams from, say, GB, USA, Australia and Holland would fight to prove who was the best through a number of action-packed (and we mean action-packed) rounds. These were quite excellent, most of them involving races in huge expensive machines such as jet skis, buggies and the 'Supercats' (jeep things). And then there was The Hill, a race up a obstacle laden hill whilst opposing teams tried to irritate you using huge water cannons.

A great format, although some of the races weren't as exciting as they perhaps could have been, so why try and change it by setting it on snow and getting Ross King to host it? We'll never know.

Inventor

Devised by Julian Grant.

Merchandise

A computer game was released. It was quite good, actually.
