And if you did, what was the name of the game where contestants had to spin round until dizzy, then complete a small assault course?

I remember vividly seeing Denise Van Outen saying (after an article about ponies) "I 'ad an 'orse once. Well it felt like an 'orse" and did that rolling eyes smiley thing. Set me up for the day.

She sent me off to sixth form with difficulty riding my bike in jeans most mornings.

Google doesn't seem to know owt about a game called wibbly wobbly. Any other guesses? I'd love to find a clip of the Tony Blackburn edition, I seem to remember laughing most of the day.

Will never forget JK being interviewed on some car program ('stars and their cars' from memory), anyway, he takes the presenter for a high speed spin around a race track in one of his Ferrari's and, on getting out of the car, this chap remarks that that was "better than sex"...

... cool as cucumber JK just smirks and says "not where I get it from mate". Ah Denise Van Outen, morning TV has never been quite the same.

Youtube doesn't agree with any off those being the right name. Any more guesses?

Mentioning jay kay reminds me of a video on YouTube of him picking on some reporter, allegedly for kicking his £170k Bentley, before the chap finally has enough and lays the swede on him. Classic

(used to like him and his music btw until he split up with denise van outen and seemed to become a bit of a bell-end after that)

Found it here:

I've only ever seen Jay Kay sober and always thought he was a bellend. (I admit he is probably not crying himself to sleep in his mansion because I don't like him).

Saw Zig and Zag on RTE in Ireland, around '91, they were the equivalant of Ed the Duck - most of it was way over the kids heads.

There were another couple of characters - Dustin the Vulture, a second hand car salesman was one that stuck out.

Johnny Vaughan: "Alicia's got a special message for everybody".

Alicia Silverstone (puppy dog eyes at the camera): "Go veggie, everybody."

Johnny Vaughan: "Yeah but, what I don't get is: if we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?"
