Synopsis
Kids travelling game show, a sort of Passport for kids.
Two teams play games to win points. Notable rounds included the one where teams made videos based around a certain thing and then the opposing team had to answer questions on it, and the bizarre Sausage and Mash round where, with a giant inflatable sausage, teams try to burst as many ballons as they can.
There was also a treasure hunt round, where the kids had to run around town in order to locate the host.
At the end, the losers get the first plane back home and the winners get to spend an extra day doing something really good.
Weird, but actually quite a good little show.
Inventor
Devised by Trish Kinane and Stephen Leahy.
