Synopsis
Sdrawkcab gnihtyreve od ot dah uoy erehw wohsemag eht.
Do you see?
Except it wasn't quite as simple as that because in fact you had to do most things forward but in a backwards manner. Not so much sdrawkcab gnihtyreve od ot dah uoy erehw wohsemag eht and more eht wohsemag erehw uoy dah ot od gnihtyreve sdrawkcab then.
Second host, Jez Edwards. Notice the backwards clock.Host guided two teams through the Crazy Cottage, beginning with Round Five and ending at Round One. Rounds included riding the bike where the handlebars steered the wrong way, performing a sequence but in a certain order so when the film was played backwards it matched what was on the card, making a pizza in a slopey kitchen, working out backward tunes - stuff like that.
The host (centre) with the orange and green teams.Through the windows of the house you could tell the designers of the show were obviously taking illegal substances as gaudy coloured skies and giant child audience members could be seen. Hang on, now that's where the inspiration for Teletubbies came from. Meanwhile the winners (the team with the least amount of points) won a trip to Alton Towers whilst the losers won a left handed biscuit - each! Marvellous.
