Go For It!

GO FOR IT!
Made by: ?
Shown on: BBC
Years shown: mid '80s

This game show had to be seen to be believed. Only the image-conscious eighties could produce a family weight-loss quiz, where the winning family was the one which lost the most weight within a week. Events were presided over by Radio 1 DJ, Robbie Vincent, and the winning team would take home a Go For It! bread-board, which has to be in the running for the worst prize ever, along with Blankety-Blank cheque-book and pen, and the cut-glass vases presented to winners of the Fifteen to One grand final. The teams would also take home sporty Go For It! rucksacks, and I remember seeing one hanging on a peg in the cloakroom at my school, and wondering which lucky child got themselves weighed on those special Go For It! scales.

SQUARE EYES RATING: 3/10
