It's a whole lotta' fun! With Prizes to be won!~
If you grew up in the UK throughout the 90s (or even in the US depending on what year you were born!) you would have been fortunate enough to catch the one show every single child wanted to be a contestant on - Funhouse!
I always longed to be able to get on a show like Funhouse, but it sadly never came to be. This is the next best thing I suppose!
Dai looks a little unsure about appearing in front of so many people, doesn't he? But trust me... He's overwhelmingly happy to be there. After all, there are games to be played, go-karts to race and prizes to win!

Actually, I don't think Funhouse was all that popular in America. Everyone I knew was all about Double Dare (which doesn't seem to have lasted long in the U.K.) Still, convince CiTV to fly me over, and I'll be your partner!
By the way, what's your favorite game? Personally, I'd want to play the Slop Machine:

Oh my....presented by Pat Sharp in the UK, it lasted a while in the UK from 1989 to 1999 and loved the Fun Kart Grand Prix however in its final year, many people, mainly kids of course were put off of the show because they (ITV - Independent Television) put adverts just before the Grand Prix. The viewing ratings dropped and so another great show disappears from our screen.
The laws surrounding childrens shows in the UK are as follows
1. Kids shows on broadcasters can put adverts on but its tightly regulated.
2.
No Fast food adverts - banned because of concerned childhood obesity.
No Chocolate or Candy - banned for same reason.
No Sugery Cereals - banned for same reason.
No Alcohol or Drug adverts. - Obviously
No Charity Adverts - Banned for showing distressing scenes.
No Financial Adverts (Banks Accounts, Credit Cards etc.) - banned because children don't understand them.
3. Only toy adverts and PEGI 3 rated video games usually get through the regulations.
4. The minimum time that must pass between advert breaks is 10 to 15 minutes and there must be no more than 3 lots of adverts during an hour programme slot.

I see. I couldn't tell you about advert laws in the US, but here, a typical half hour program goes to commercial about 3 times because of how we do it. In the UK, any half-hour programs I see (mainly game shows) have just one commercial break.
Of course, there's the BBC, where there's no adverts at all.

The BBC is currently paid for by the TV License Fee but there is currently a debate about its future as a state broadcaster on the grounds that its price is increasing, its been in a few scandals and the corporation promised not to scrap the over 75s free tv license which they then did a U-turn on.
Originally the over 75s got a free license that was covered by the government but then the government allowed the BBC more control on its finances and it (the BBC) soon realised it was going to need to make difficult changes, the BBC has been transparent about some of its money handling like for example it must reveal all celebrities who have a yearly salary of at least £150,000.
The highest paid celebrity recently was former footballer Gary Lineker (the presenter of Match of the Day) he is paid £1,750,000. (£1.75 million).

If you don't pay the license fee and your watching live tv as its broadcast you face a fine of £1,000 and/or a 3 month prison sentence.
Your stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And Britbox (On Demand Service) which has just been released here, a lot of British people don't get a good enough internet strength to download or watch it and the British public are very angry that the BBC is charging people to watch its service when we've already paid the license fee. Soo its like getting charged twice for the same programmes.

Well the license fee must be paid if, you're watching Live TV as its being broadcast and that includes the BBC iPlayer on the BBC website and BBC iPlayer App and the BBC Media Player app.
Watching any live broadcast from a TV transmitter would be breaking the law.
However if your tv is linked up to O.D. Services (On Demand) like Disney+, Now TV or Netflix, then you can use your tv You can also view videos VHS, BETA, DVDs. but you must disconnect your exterior tv ariel otherwise you get tv license idiots threatening and trying to claim you're watching live tv and can report you.

I think one of the issues people might have had with our Fun House here in the States is that it was viewed as a Double Dare spin-off; it did lead to a heap of kids' games that encouraged people to get messy, such as Treasure Mall, Slime Time, and (according to one argument I've heard), Finders Keepers (which the UK had a version of as well). I suppose you could be the judge of that.
