Bring Back......

Post by Marc Meakin »

Having recently got Britbox and also my age making me aall nostalgic, I was thinking of some of the things from my childhood that I miss.
I remember a show called Superstars where former sportsmen competed in a set of sporting challenges.
Kevin Keegan and the ex Judo champion Brian Jack's were notable contestants that did well.
There probably is some health and safety reason why the stopped making it.
Also It's a knockout (Stuart Hall should be getting parole soon)

It was brilliant I agree, but it's most likely to do with players' insurance policies preventing them from engaging in any risky activities

It existed as recently as 2012. Here is a 100m race featuring Mo Farah and Anthony Joshua among others.

Is this just for TV shows? If not - back in the 90s Boots did these ginger and pear bars that were coated in chocolate. They were fucking awesome. But I can find no trace of their existence online whatsoever. Anyway, bring them back.
