Run the Risk

General
I found a couple of clips from Rally Planeten the other day - it was the Swedish version of the British 'Run the Risk', which was a sort of darker-themed Double Dare in the mid-90s. Most of its games were based around a large moat of gunge, with a positively sadistic final challenge that was the inspiration for the current form of my own fictional show, making them have to climb a slimy inflatable ramp leading down into the moat while even more of the stuff was poured down on to them from the ceiling.

(but much slimier)
With gunge or without, though, I miss the quality of screaming at the screen that that sort of TV brought on (either in encouragement or despair). The American Gladiators remake was the first thing in a long time to do that to me, even if it got too ridiculous for its own good very quickly.
