What happens
Don't Try This at Home! is a British game show produced by LWT with Golden Square Pictures and broadcast on ITV between 16 May 1998 and 5 May 2001. Based on the Australian adventure game show Who Dares Wins, it took up the Saturday challenge game show slot left by its long-running and more sedate predecessor You Bet!. It featured real people facing tough challenges such as swinging under a bridge. It was hosted by Davina McCall with co-hosts including Darren Day and Tristan Bancks (both only in the first series), Kate Thornton and Paul Hendy. Russ Williams was the event commentator. A lifetime medal was awarded for winning a challenge or having a very good try. The show regularly featured stunts and performers from The Circus of Horrors. A spin-off show was produced in 2001 called Challenge of a Lifetime and was hosted by Claire Sweeney. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
