What happens

Total Recall is an Australian children's game show that aired on the Seven Network. It was hosted by Michael Pope who also hosted the Australian version of the popular game show Blockbusters. The series was first originally broadcast in 1994 and ended in 1995. It was also repeated on pay TV channel Nickelodeon a few years later. The show saw two competing schools play a memory game. On Monday to Thursday, four kids from one of the schools would play and the person with the most points at the end of the day was declared winner. They were then asked to come back on Friday where the four winners that week would go school against school. Also trying to amass the most points during the week to win the schools prize at the end of the week (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
