Mad for It

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mad For It was a British game show for children which was broadcast on CITV from 1998–2000. The show's original presenters were Youlanda and Mike McClean. In 2000, Youlanda was replaced by Nigel Mitchell and Danielle Nicholls.

[edit] Games in the show

Games included were

Stars Up Their Noses: Contestants are given 30 seconds do demonstrate their particular talent. The name of the game is derived from impersonation talent show Stars In Their Eyes.
Box Clever: Contestants answer questions, and pick a prize from a box if correct.
That's My Pet: Contestants need to guess which is their pet amongst several similar looking animals.

Much beloved of children's television, a frequent feature of Mad For It was "gunge", a green slimy goo which was regularly poured onto losing contestants and occasionally on the hosts themselves. Those who lost the games were sent to a "Dungeon of Gunge" – an enclosure with a large nose on the wall which expelled gunge onto the hapless prisoners.
