This use to come on every morning during the school holidays, and had different groups of kids from all over the uk.

Oh, i remember this.
I used to love that show.
Been trying to think of some of the presenters who was in it and they ended up quite well known now.

Ant McPartlin for one, can't think of anyone else.

I can't think of any presenters...but do remember the show.

Why Don't You just turn off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?

Presenters? Not a clue, can't remember. But I'm sure a sock glove puppet they made on one show would do a lot better job than some of the presenters on TV at the moment (Abi Titmuss, Kate Lawler, etc...)

Thank you for including that....it's been bugging me what that line was since I saw this thread.

I remember all the presenter kids were always really nervous, and used to fidget with their hands while talking about amazing games you could play with coins and matchboxes.

I remember it - all the kid presenters had really strong Bristolian accents.

'twas pretty cr@p

i remember this. i especially liked the week it came from Northern Ireland as they were always so eager to show us a "fill-um". my brother and I still use this pronounciation to this day every time we go and see a film together.

the show was presented by a group of different kids each week as they used to travel all over the British Isles going to different cities. the concept was o show how many varying things there was to do in the UK.

I remember watching this programme in the school hols, I loved it

I remember it.It was the highlight of the summer holidays lol

Loved 'Why Don't You'.

Me and my mates would be up and doing before the programme ended.


I also remember a Christmas gift from my Mum, a book called '101 Things to Do on a Rainy Day'.


Never had all the experiment equipment to hand but always had a Fab time doing stuff in the kitchen or the box room.

Oh yes . . then we'd put courses up in our gardens and play 'My Palomino Mare Jumps Higher than your Pinto gelding'.

Mandy Ash or Jane Dudley . . . if you're out there . . . I remember it too . . .

I remember but i was very young but i used to always was to be on the TV with 'cause it looked so fun.

I remember it too

Other than Ant McPartlin being a presenter, I also remember Alexandra Fletcher (Jacqui Dixon) out of Brookside being another one.

I remember her, she had a right dodgy perm as I remember

Alexandra Fletcher (Jacqui Dixon). Thanks for reminding me of that other presenter. Its been bugging me for ages. I knew their was someone else as well as Ant.

Did anyone try and cook the recipes? Seemed to be alot of recipes for Choc Rice Crispies sent in.

I remember Alexandra Fletcher's dodgy hair do's. Poor lady - I bet she's still embarrassed by them to this day!!

I remember them doing some stupid sketch called 'The Big Sheep'??? Never understood what it was about!
