  1. AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!!! I have not seen a full Get Fresh with Gilbert since it was first broadcast back in the 80s!!!! I will have watched this live on my 14inch portable in my room. Then spent the rest of the day rolling about laughing as I quoted Gilbert in various situations….such fun! Thanks! PLEASE PUT UP MORE!!!!

  2. At this point I don't think TVS/ITV had made a final decision on the fate of 7T3, i wonder if this one time shot of producing Get Fresh helped inform the decision…

  3. "With thanks to Melbourne House", publishers of Xenon, the game used in the Get Mucky segment. The first game to come from The Bitmap Brothers, and we'd go on to see greater things from them.

  4. Have you got any more eps please ? I was in the crowd at the Plymouth and Newquay [in Cornwall] ones [Theres a clip on here of Spear of Destiny playing at that one, and I'm the kid with the 110 mini camera]

  5. Something I've wondered about for absolutely years is a game which I'm sure used to feature in Get Fresh On Sunday. Seems as though not many people remember much about the Sunday version, but I'll throw this out there just on the off-chance that anyone remotely knows what I'm talking about. My memory is a little faded on some of the details, but it was two kids, always a girl and a boy, who were teleported to a dungeon. The game was basically a form of escape room scenario, they had to solve a series of Crystal Maze-like puzzles against a timer of five minutes or so to get out and win the prize. At the end of the game, there was something where they'd stand under a pipe and get gunged if they lost or teleported back out of the room if they won. It's just something I've always remembered watching every week just before going to visit family for the day. I didn't watch Get Fresh much, but I remember that bit and nobody else seems to know anything about it. It'd just be interesting to know that someone else remembers it, because it's a very lost piece of media to date.
