Following my first, and last, viewing of Clever v Stupid a couple of days ago, it got me to wondering which other game shows could be considered Worst Ever? Clever v Stupid certainly is right up there, but I can think of plenty of other contenders, so here – Clever v Stupid aside – are my suggestions for the top three most lame game shows…

At number three, I’m voting for 3-2-1, the horrendously cheap show that was hosted by Ted Rogers, the highlight of which was hoping he’d get his quick-fingered 3-2-1 countdown wrong and inadvertently give us viewers the V.

The consolation prizes for losers and runners-up were pants items such as a dinner set and a ceramic Dusty Bin, the show’s mascot bin thing. Other ‘prizes’ included a dog, a year’s supply of whisky, a sofa that turned into a pool table and matching His & Hers sheepskin coats.

In case you need a little reminder of the show, here’s the opening sequence…

In at number two is ‘Dick and Dom’s Ask the Family’ a reprisal version of ‘Ask the Family’, which was a very successful series, unlike Dick and Dom’s horrendous version.

The remake of the show was aired on the BBC and broke with its namesake’s format in that the questions asked of contestants were secondary to Dick and Dom’s antics, and it attracted much controversy.

The creator of the original ‘60s show, Patricia Owtram, scorned Dick and Dom’s version by saying, “I was disgusted that, in the first Dick and Dom programme, a boy who gave a wrong answer was forced to wear a donkey mask and be hooted”. Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t re-commissioned after the first series.

But the all time, number one Worst Game Show Ever award would have to go Naked Jungle, which was hosted by a naked Keith Chegwin. I’m still having nightmares…

Naked Jungle was basically a nudist version of a children’s game show entitled Jungle Run. It used the same set but a significantly different format. In it, five naturist couples had to compete separately to produce a male and a female champion who would win £5,000.

Games included The Pool of Death, The Chasm of Doom – which, as it turned out, wasn’t the crack in Chegger’s bum – and the Cave of Lost Souls.

Naked people abseiled and generally climbed around and bounced a lot, Cheggers included. It wasn’t a great big shock to learn that after just one naked outing, the show wasn’t commissioned to be continued, for which many of us thanked the Gods of TV.

In fact, the show caused such a ruckus that it was the subject of a debate in the House of Commons, regarding the state of British television, and Cheggers apparently said afterwards that his mother was so shocked by his naked “cavorting”, he promised never to do the show again.

So that’s my top five game show nightmares; what’re yours? Let us know
