# I thought it was called Poparound
Or was that a different game?

It was utterly pointless in any case.

# Wasn't it Chegwins Plays Poparound?

# No idea
The kids had to stand in the circle of the wrong answer, then when the bloke shouted 'poparound' they all jumped into the correct one (unless they were stupid and got the wrong answer).

Am I the only person who remembers this?

# No, GS was right.
That was 'Runaround'.

# That's Mike Reid's Runaround
which is different to Rob Curling's Turnabout and nothing like Cheggers Plays Pop

# I am entirely convinced it was Poparound
Mind you, I thought that other kids' show which had 'Pop' in the title had a cow in a tree and it turned out to be a monkey.

[edit] We are both right: freespace.virgin.net/greg.taylor1/watched_it/run.htm
(about halfway down the page it mentions Poparound).

# cows didn't start climbing trees until early 1997
so that was foolish.

but look at the link I just changed it to... you are CORRECT!

"Gary Crowley (yes, the bloke who presented The Beat) hosted a spin-off called Poparound based on music questions, and using gold and silver disks as the scoring tokens."

# Hurrah
Now what was the name of that other show, with the monkey in the tree? Pop-something.

It's going to bug me for the rest of the day now.

# No, I remembered now
It was Pipkins.

The monkey-cow thing was called Topoff.

I think there was a dustbin too.
