Host
Colin Bennet as "Vince Purity"
Broadcast
Children's BBC, 19 February 1986 to 11 February 1987 (12 episodes in two series)
Synopsis
Ok, so brace yourself for this one. A man kidnaps a load of schoolkids and for his amusement makes them play a giant game of snakes and ladders. Bonus moves were awarded for the team partners completing a game or variety-style task correctly, measured via a clapometer.
All the kids were of the 1980s uppity stage school variety, and as such being captured by a horrid old man is probably about right for them.
About halfway through, Vince would utter the phrase "break a leg!" and whichever team hit their buzzer first would get to do their big dance routine, and at the end the kids would do individual turns, with the winner getting a bit longer for theirs. Even now, we give an involuntary shudder at the dread words "I'm going to do a monologue".
Catchphrases
"Break a leg!"
"Bran barrel! Bran barrel!"
