What was the 1980s kids gameshow that was on BBC1 or ITV, where the kids were in a lift and there was a holographic head. One of the levels was alphabet soup - they had to dive in to a swimming pool with coloured water and retrive letters.

Final Destination 3 ?

That program was so cool! I think it was called Parallel 9 or something, and it had a game where there was the dark knight, and he would say 'move' in a really deep voice to the contestants. I think it was during the 90's.

-clare - Parallel 9 was a weird saturday morning programme abour a wizard or something with really big eyebrows, and their were star guests and stuff, that got beamed up to Parallel 9 (where time went backwards)!! Any more suggestions?! comloulou The programme was much better than knightmare (knightmare used to scare the living daylights out of me!) Any suggestions for a name though?

I remember this programme. It was called Incredible Games, and it was actually aired in the 1990s, on BBC1. There's a web page about it here: http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/i/incre
dible_games/index.htm which is unfortunately not as informative as it could be (focusing as it does mainly on the second series) , not to mention inaccurate about the name of the first actor to play 'the lift' (David Walliams, not Leslie Williams as it says). One bit of trivia I remember is that the Dark Knight was played in the first series by Simon Shelton, who later occupied the purple suit of Tinky Winky' Oh, and no way was it better than Knightmare.

thank you sooooo much waterwolf!!!! i have been trying to think of the show for about two months since the entire upper sixth of caerleon comp started reminiscing about days gone by and all the fab programmes that used to be on - kids tv these days is rubbish in comparison!!!! i continue to disagree about nightmare, but still each to their own! thank you again!!! (and sorry about the inaccurate decade - we got confused about how old we were when we saw it!!!)
