The revival?

@@tenpasttwelve8931 original series 6, with Ed.

@@SpudgunStreams Oh right. I'd have to check, but if he was, he would've filmed it in November of 1994.

@@tenpasttwelve8931 I'm pretty sure it's him. Another to add to the unwritten list of contestants on multiple shows.

@@tenpasttwelve8931 are you going to do get your own back series 5

Thanks for giving your insight! Honestly, it's getting comments like this (in amongst the rubbish I normally get) from folks who were actually there that make these uploads worth it. :D

One thing I always wondered is whether the grown up went on thinking "if I get gunged, ok" or whether they actually wanted to get gunged. Miss Maguiness looked like she enjoyed it after the ginger shower stopped.

Great to hear from you both. If either of you can make the time, would love to hear your recollections of filming. It was at Granada Studios in Manchester, wasn't it?

Yep we was up in Manchester for a few days, we saw the coronation street set which was nice. The show was filmed on the 15th July 1998. I remember the room with the gunge tank was freezing cold as it was made from stuff that started to go off and smell if it got too warm 😂, all the children in the audience were from a local primary school, I think they were more excited to be missing school than actually being in the audience, all in all it was a great experience. Neil buchanans cousin worked behind the scenes as a camera guy and he made a joke that he was the one that had taught him to draw. I’m really pleased my dad agreed to go on and take part with me, it will definitely be a memory to treasure forever 😁

@@DanielleAleppo Amazing, thanks for sharing! It's funny you should mention 15th July - that was the day before Matthew Corbett's last ever filming day with Sooty in the same studio!

@@DanielleAleppo Thats a great memory to have. Thank you. Just a couple of questions from me. Do you know why in this series the adults had to wear trainers over the gunk dunk rather than being barefoot as they were in other series? Also did you or Paul have the oppotunity to go into the gunk dunk?

If you don't park the gunge/feet fetish, I'll have to ban you.

No, I didn't 'forget', I don't have those episodes. If I did, I'd have uploaded them. Other than that, well done on your ability to count. 🙄

@@tenpasttwelve8931 This is the thing with people online, you upload a few episodes and people assume you have everything lol. Hopefully all the missing episodes turn up at some point, all these episodes you have uploaded have existed in private collections for years.

@@gyobfan22 Me too, especially the Mr. Blobby episode which loads of people keep requesting. Believe me, if I had it, I'd upload it like a shot.

I think the words you're looking for are 'Thanks for uploading shows today, I'm really going to enjoy them!'

We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't have episodes 8 and 9, if you were expecting me to upload them... I believe a hardcore fan was given episode 9 by someone who worked on the show, but sadly they just hoard all their recordings for themself.

@@tenpasttwelve8931 oh no I wasn’t expecting you to upload them, sorry if I came off as rude / demanding, was merely my curiousity

@@jamestravers6665 Didn't take it as such! The "wait and see" seemed to imply that I would be uploading them, so I'm just managing people's expectations. :)

@@tenpasttwelve8931 I wasn’t born when series 1 came out so when my friend told me about it years later, I was very surprised at how different Zzzap was

Thank you for that original observation.

Will upload series 2, 3, and 4 when I'm at a loose end. Go and watch them on 'Jamie's TV Archive' on Internet Archive if you can't wait until then.

I can see why change was needed after this series. It's more like watching a horror film in places than a children's comedy.

Yeah, at first I thought of Tricky Dicky as just a hybrid of Inspector Clouseau and Dennis the Menace. But after seeing this, he's also got the skills of Harry Houdini.

You'd have thought they'd of let the kids get their own back in the last episode but no, that's what they wanted you to think.

@@matthwe3468 I know, and when you thought his true identity would be revealed but Tricky was one step ahead of them. If you would've looked at the handcuffs, the key is still in there.

@@tenpasttwelve8931always found series 1 to be very creepy. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks the same!

That’s very kind, but I cannot take any credit for sourcing it. I just made it a bit easier for people to find because this one would’ve slipped under the radar for most.

@@tenpasttwelve8931 No worries. Still, I think you deserve credit for getting it to people's attentions! Id have defo missed this 😀

I think they nailed the second series over the first, too.

Not that I know of

No, you can do that yourself.

There are 13 other series.

Oh, I was wondering what you thought about Molly's Gang. You're usually so quiet on the matter!
