Synopsis

CBBC tries to find two champions for the new millennium in a children's game show that is actually quite good. Invented by author Kjartan Poskitt, perhaps best known for the Murderous Maths books, this starts with what seemed like 250,000 people playing Runaround, going through a different type of show each week - inflatable games, a very watchable treasure hunt, and ending with a quiz game played on motorbikes with the final four boys and four girls.

Not bad at all.
