Did anyone else desperately want to go on Fun House as a child? Or am I showing my age?!

Yes! I was on a BBC show "No Win No Fee" presented by Paul Ross. I got through to the 2nd round, and then lost out. It was in 2001, so before social media. I told nobody except my Mum and the in-laws. I went into work the next day, and this guy said to me Morning and winked at me. I thought he was being very friendly! He then said he had taken a day off sick the previous day, and was watching daytime TV; and up I pop on the TV. I said I am so sorry, after 3 years and your first sick day and you want to forget about work, and my ugly mug pops up on the TV! Another colleague was on maternity leave, and saw me! It was all round the company in no time. My cousin also saw me, said she was changing the duvet at the time, obviously did not want to say she was watching daytime TV with a cuppa and a biscuit! Just recently came across the recording during my clear out.... It was a fun experience!

When I was a kid I would have loved to go on 50/50

I was on Fifteen to One a few years ago (the Sandi Toksvig reboot, not the William G Stewart one). They filmed three episodes and day and it took a loooooooooong time, Sandi was given a chair each time they went to a break or had to change cameras etc but we had to stand behind our podiums the whole time when not in between whole episodes. The other contestants were really really nice and it felt mean to have to nominate! I didn't get into the final for any of the three episodes I was in, which is probably a mercy.

Didn't manage to get on but my sister and I made it to the final auditions for Coach Trip (either 2nd or 3rd series, I can't remember now).

On my OE I worked for a lady who was a career contestant (appeared on everything) and won big. She went on a show called Deal or No Deal, and then Wheel of Fortune, within a year of each other (what are the chances?!), and took the top prizes. Then she won the Oz Lotto as part of a syndicate and gifted her employees a week to Las Vegas with $5k spending money! She was so lucky. Sadly, she committed suicide a year or so ago.

Yes I have. It was called Fanorama and Claudia winkleman was the host and my team captain was David Mitchell. This was just before Peep Show. I was 18 and so awkward and not forgetting dressed as Britney in full baby one more time outfit.
We didn’t win but they gave me the prizes anyway.

I've just remembered someone I used to work with was recently on Tipping Point. She actually did quite well but got ripped to shreds by people on Twitter mainly commenting on her appearance.

I’d have loved to have done Jungle Run as a kid. Such an awesome concept for a kids game show! I loved 50/50 & Get Your Own Back but Jungle Run was the best, kinda like The Crystal Maze for kids.
Speaking of Crystal Maze I’d love to go on that! Or Fort Boyard!
I have a friend who applied to go on The Chase that’s about as exciting as it gets for me.
