Synopsis
The BBC's "me-too!" answer to ITV's vastly successful You've Been Framed!, this never really took off.
People sent in their home videos, people representing nine of the videos faced off in three semi-finals of sorts with the audience voting on their favourite. They then, we think, voted on an ultimate winner from the three heats with a prize going to the winner.
Particularly noted for its highly irritating use of comedy sound effects.

Trivia
Despite being critically mauled, it maintained its Friday 8:30pm slot throughout its run. And ten million people watched every episode! Truly, another age.
