Synopsis
Series in which contestants were challenged to accomplish a specific task within 24 hours, such as arrange a beach party, turn £100 into £1000, or organise a traditional English meal in a foreign country.
The contestants - teens or thereabouts - usually resorted to a tactic of "phone our mates to pay for stuff" rather than planning, skill or cunning.
