I'm pretty sure the original incarnation of L&K had an Andi Peters fronted gunge game. However my mind may be playing tricks with me as I'm remembering it involving a giant nose, and I know that sounds similar to Stop The Snot on the final series.

Live & Kicking had gunge in the Katy Hill, Otis Delay etc area but not in the golden age of the show. Well apart from Peter Simon’s Run the Risk of course.

Double Dare , the craziest messiest gameshow on TV! Loved it!
They used gunge as a selling point as a staple of Saturday morning TV but it didn't really play a huge part in Going Live, L&K and SM:tv IMO.

MoM was a pretty decent effort, especially after the dying days of SM:tv, and it was only really when budget cuts hit and it morphed into Saturday Showdown it lost it's way.
I do think budget is key - you can (usually) see straight away when a show is done on a shoestring budget and that's what I kind of expected from Mash Up but thankfully it did feel like a bit of money, and probably more importantly, a bit of TLC, had gone into it.
I wouldn't read anything into the ratings at all yet though in theory considering where we are now the CBBC rating should be higher than BBC2 anyway. It of course should be front and centre on BBC1 and would probably get closer to the 1m mark if it was, but it needs to prove itself on BBC2 first and there probably needs to be some kind of Omlette related scandal to bump Saturday Kitchen out of the kids TV slot.
Was just looking through one of the old CITV threads on here, and Ministry Of Mayhem was a lot better than I remember it, that Christmas special with Ricky Gervais was rather good. Ray, the German doctor and Mr Lee were okay characters although that ringtone game they had does seem horribly dated now.
The hyenas, Scratch and Sniff, were pretty good though, in no due part to them being done by Don Austen and John Eccleston who of course have done a lot of other work in puppeteering including the leprechauns (Sage and Onion or similar) on Live And Kicking. Fairly certain they did some work for CITV too.

MoM wasn't really that good at first, it improved after that revamp a few months in though.
Shoestring budgets weren't always bad though, Scratchy and Co was fairly popular and clearly cost next to nothing to make.

If this run works out well maybe it could be recommissioned for next year and promoted to BBC One. Aside from the likelyhood (or not) of any omlette related scandal or similar, how well is Saturday Kitchen doing ratings wise since James Martin left?
Ideally, this is the sort of Saturday morning show that should be on BBC One with a 9:30am start with a 12pm (approx) endtime, with a run throughout most of the Autumn and Winter (including a Christmas special) followed by a 15 minute news bulletin, then the (highly unlikely) return of Grandstand from 12:30pm through to 5:30pm ... !

Especially now considering he's on ITV now as well

Next week before SMU, BBC Two are showing some CBBC documentary series: Naomi's Nightmares of Nature, Show Me What You're Made Of and Deadly 60.
This week's SMU is already improving, they've definitely got a bigger audience. This week's guests are Swoosh from Flawless and Jack P. Shepherd from Coronation Street.
