What happens

Child's Play is an Australian game show based on the American show of the same name. It aired on the Seven Network and was hosted by Jeff Phillips. The show first premiered on 25 March 1984 and ended on 3 September of that same year. It was the first Goodson adaptation in Australia made independently by Fremantle International, who was a international licensor of Goodson-Todman shows, in association with R.A. Becker & Co., who was the Australian agent for Fremantle, for Seven Network as most of the previous Goodson adaptations in Australia was handled by Reg Grundy. The gameplay followed mostly on the American rules, adjusted for the Australian market. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
