This was a Saturday night institution in our house when I was a kid in the 90s. Saturday tele was stunning! I only started going out rather than watch tele when I discovered girls and drinking in about 98!!!
@blank-dr2kx brilliant. You Bet was ace and Gladiators was just the best. We used to be allowed a treat sometimes and have a Chinese and sit and eat it whilst watching Noel's House Party or something like that. Saturday night used to start at the end of Final Score and then it was Big Break or Baywatch or one of those sorts of programs. Heaven.
Sadly for me this is serious car porn. Put me in that car park I would have a seizure after spending the moments beforehand going "and I want that car and that one, and that one over there". Really don't care what anyone else thinks.. those machines are my idea of cars :-)
Anybody else notice the skidmarks on the ground BEFORE the car reached that area (the same kind of thing you see on Ken Block videos these days)? Also Russ taking an obvious wrong turn for the centre when he knew the exit was at a side? I'm guessing he already knew his way around the maze put in a few deliberate "mistakes" to keep the time close and the challenge interesting... XD No disrespect to him! The point of YouBet is if the celebs can predict if he'll make it or not. Not if the challenge can be completed. Challenges were also occasionally sabotaged. Frisbee golf targets being moved further apart to stitch up Pat Sharp for example. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yOfDk3KVAbg.html
