Synopsis

A game segment in the ITV kids' show Ghost Train On Sunday. From an upper level, the host would open up a hatch allow two contestants entry into a chute. The kids would slide down this dark chute, and being awfully dark and scary, the journey down would normally be accompanied with a pre-recorded(?) piercing scream. At the bottom, they would land in a chamber - the dungeon. There, they would be greeted by a talking caterpillar puppet who was presumably operated through a hole in the wall. Under the caterpillar's instructions, they would have to complete a certain task, which was different each week. If they failed, usually by running out of time, they would be directed to stand below a certain spot, where slime would be dropped onto them. The punishment wasn't severely heavy, but the colour contrasts of the slime with their T-shirts were enough to make it look rather bad... to the younger viewers, anyway. I can't quite remember what the prizes were, had the challenge have been completed.
