What was the name of this 80's quiz show?

Hi all,

There was a quiz show on childrens tv, I think it was ITV in the late 80's and aired once per week. It was hosted by a blond guy with glasses I think and featured a transparent glode which spun around and the teams were asked questions on where it stopped. A voice spoke the name of the place on the globe when it stopped. It featured locations like 'the galapagos Islands'. I think it was called something like 'where in the world' but cannot find anything on it. Does anyone know what this program was called please?

All help appreciated

No no all. I can understand your confusion about the name of the show but it was not that crappy Irish quiz on Sunday nights

This was a british childrens tv quiz show aired on itv. Maybe it was called 'around the world'?

yes OP, i remember it too, it was presented by David "kid" Jensen. I watched it as a kid myself, and the only thing i can remember about it was at one point the contestants would stop at the azores. I had never heard of the azores before.

EDIT: 120 - your right. The only thing I remembered was the guy was had an American accent. Do not recognise the name though.
