question for britbongs - Limmy's Show Adventure Call reference

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Is this based on a real concept? Are/were there shows where you called in and played adventurer with a host?

 

[ES 148]

Almost certain there weren't and it's just a good comedy device, but I am a youngling

Pretty sure it's based on this. Not quite the same. I also recall there being something of the same on Ceefax back in the early 90's.

Yeah, I can't recall any such show being on TV. Given that we don't have public access TV either, it's unlikely that such a thing would have taken off.

The sketch might also inspired by Knightmare (A campy medieval themed kids show where they told a blindfolded teammate what to do, most of the time ending in failure):

A surprisingly hate-driven panda that's full of tuberculosis.

He drinks a glass of water and says

"And how does it taste? *Sip*"

Then he says something that sounds like - "FOAKALLLLLLL."

I don't know any adventure call-in shows but after watching that there should be. The guy on the phone is a good representation of a scot.

"It tastes....of fuck all" (nothing)

Man, I used to love Knightmare as a kid. Watching it again as an adult, you see how many absolutely filthy jokes they managed to sneak past the censors.
