Caught in the Act

(I'm going to assume, too, that David B wasn't lying here. Of course, most people only had four channels in '92 - and the only real competition was Gardeners' World and the sitcom Second Thoughts)
(Even the logo - and the accompanying title sequence - weren't original ideas...)

Host

Shane Richie

Broadcast

Action Time for BBC1, 10 January to 27 March 1992 (12 episodes in 1 series)

Synopsis

The BBC's "me-too!" answer to ITV's vastly successful You've Been Framed!, this never really took off.

People sent in their home videos, people representing nine of the videos faced off in three semi-finals of sorts with the audience voting on their favourite. They then, we think, voted on an ultimate winner from the three heats with a prize going to the winner.

Particularly noted for its highly irritating use of comedy sound effects.

Inventor

Names have been removed to protect the guilty.

Theme music

Alan Parker

Trivia

Despite being critically mauled, it maintained its Friday 8:30pm slot throughout its run. And ten million people watched every episode! Truly, another age.

Videos


Here's a full episode that you'd rather forget than remember.
