Wasn't 90s TV just so much better?!

Starting the evening with the Generation Game

A Saturday teatime family favourite.

2

The Saturday night tradition of Baywatch…

The perfect start to a Saturday evening!

3

…followed by Gladiators…

If you had The Channels that is. If you didn’t have The Channels you lied about having watched Gladiators in school on Monday anyway, right?

4

…and finally Blind Date.

Was this trilogy the best stretch of Saturday nights viewing?

5

Don't forget Noel’s House Party

The show many of us would patiently wait up for. A giant pink spotty monster playing pranks on celebrities, gunge tanks and a Carry On-style running gag...no wonder it dominated our TVs for almost a decade!

6

Some preferred The Big Break...

Jim Davidson, snooker, John Virgo's waistcoats...a winning combination?

7

...and You Bet!

The ITV show where a line-up of celebs and the studio audience would bet on the ability of a random member of the public to perform a certain task. It was nail-biting stuff, but not as nail-biting as it was when it became...

8

Don't Try This At Home!

The idea was similar to You Bet!, but required people to perform more death-defying stunts. Which show did you prefer?

9

Then there were the weirder 90s shows such as Pets Win Prizes...

The very odd '90s TV gameshow did exactly what it said on the tin (which still hasn’t turned up on Youtube!)

10

...and Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush

Who remembers this wacky Chris Evans-fronted Saturday night gameshow? It gave Saturday night TV the kick up the backside it needed in the mid-90s.

11

Who could forget Stars in Their Eyes...

Turning ordinary folk into stars for five minutes. Who did you want to transform in to?

12

...or Celebrity Squares

Bob Monkhouse is believed to know more jokes than anyone else in the world and watching this show we can believe it!

13

A later addition to the TV schedule was Man O Man

Chris Tarrant's gameshow...that he would probably like to forget about.

14

And finally....Eurotrash

The popularity of this show among UK viewers may explain why we haven't won the Eurovision for a while...
