31 years since they first aired it too believe it or not...

For more context for the Sky One bit, it was shortly before their programmes began for the day (and previously during the overnight hours as hit mix long play) and would typically cover a specific genre (karaoke for example below at the beginning)

If memory serves, Challenge aired a fair amount of the surviving eps of Golden Shot in late 2002 as part of their Cult Selection strand and again around 2004/05 during their Gameshow Gods strand

Instantly knew what sketch you alluded to without having to look it up, so that probably shows how much it's burned into my brain...

Fairly sure the moving of BBC Saturday morning shows to BBC Two due to the Lords Mayor Show on One became common a few years later but could be wrong

That song's going to become an earworm for me over the weekend now, so thank you for that :/

In fairness I thought it was decent when it became more associated with DiC cartoons later on in the decade (alongside music videos), though apart from that, the rest of it's continuity felt low budget in comparison to what channels of it's like had

I can only echo the sentiment that it's a shame that the show never got a full release on physical media/streaming too (bar the 90s retail VHS's of sketches from both Television Programme and Chums and the Netflix release of the former in 2022)

I remember finding the "Ranch Raccoon" flavour for the 2014 iteration of the campaign pretty repulsive and looking back (plus judging from the reviews of it) it's definitely not hard to see why

If anything it's surprising that flavour was then brought back by Walkers a couple of years after the inital campaign ended (not counting the 2014 one) when the others (including Builders Breakfast which was the winner) just vanished away

There was also a prototype logo made for the channel in the previous branding format that I believe only ever appeared in this document before it launched with the new ITV logo

The introduction to an ep of the original show courtesy of Channel 4's former Late Licence strand (at 3:49 in) still amuses me
