But people still quote...

wonky donkey to us on the streets they still talk about chums they still talk about challenge and yeah it's great and it's great to relive all those moments on belterbox like belterbox is the home of archive content where you can see like saturday night take away best bits all the undercovers in your ears and also all of the saturday morning stuff as well that we did it's good it's great really good but it got me thinking about how we came up with the idea for challenge and do you remember yeah i do

We did, where all the best ideas are born.

Of course it did.

No, because the whole thing was, I'd said, let's do a quiz, me versus kids, because I'd seen there was a rise in that everybody who participates gets a prize.

And I was so against that at the time.

And we were like, look, if I win, then, and they lose, then they don't walk away with any prizes.

We've got to be quite hard about it.

And when we pitched it to everybody at the show, they were like, yeah, but...

And we were just so positive that we were right.

Yeah, and you don't always get something for taking part.

I think the only thing they took away was a handkerchief if they lost to cry their tears into.

Yeah, I know.

Wow, eh?

Because we'd done a show prior to that, the Adam Deck show on CBBC, where we shaved off the contestants' hair if they lost.

So us just not giving them a CD or a CD player, that was nothing.

It was nothing to us.

Kids, yeah.

We shaved the kids' hair, yeah.

I'm surprised I haven't bumped into anyone on the street who I faced back in the day.
