    ... be a Goonie

    ... be on Wack-a-Day and meet Timmy Mallet

    ... own a pair of those Magic Key shoes by Clarkes (so so badly!!!)

    ... go Back To The Future with Micheal J. Fox

    ... go on the show Finders Keepers and wreck the house!!

    Unfortunately I never achieved any of them (well I'm a goonie at heart!).

    Anyone else have high ambitions when younger! :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭seo-ireland


    Yep Funhouse was one of my dreams as well
    Wanted to be on Knightmare
    Wanted Don Conroy to show my drawing (actually achieved that :) but I missed it :()
    Wanted to be a Ghostbuster
    Wanted to be on Whackaday
    Wanted a Commodore

    I wanted a lot, got little (but grateful)

  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Yeah... Knightmare was great stuff.

    It gets repeated on Challenge TV at the moment. My 8 year old newphew loves it, so I'm sure a new show would still be popular.

    The was also a show on Channel 4 when it started up first that was based on some sort of alien space station and the contestants had to solve puzzles. It used to have a very grumpy shrub that would give out alot. The Crystal Maze took alot from it... I'll have to look it up and see if I can find the title.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,450 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I always wanted to go on the crystal maze too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 995 ✭✭✭sinjin_smythe

    beat wolfe on gladiators
    and go on blind date and chat up some blonde with a cheezy love line


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭Silvera


    I wanted to..........

    - Go on patrol with Jon & Punch (remember ? 'CHiPs')
    - Fight with the A Team
    - Live in Dallas
    - Own a well-built trolley/go kart .....no seriously ! :D

    ....stop time by putting my index fingers together and start it by placing my open palms together

    ....Have Jamie's magic torch

    why did they ever drop that program? , consoles / games were just going to get bigger

    I wanted to go on Funhouse, Noel's House Party and the Crystal Maze; I wanted to own my own sweet shop; to have birthday parties in the Fun Factory; to get my photo on the 'Happy Birthday' show on the Den; to be an inventor, an artist, an air hostess, an archaeologist, a Jedi and a pirate; I can't remember which shows did it, but I wanted to pour green slime on my parents/teachers (was that Noel's House Party?)

    I have to admit, I was scared of Knightmare
