[DjGizzo]

[Sophie27987]

Pat Sharp looks like a lady or sutin.

[Snuffomatica]

Pat Sharpe lived just round the corner to us. We used to see him all the time with his flash cars double-parking to go in video rental shops etc.

Also: LMAO at the kid who's dream it was to cook Lasagne for Bros at 3:02.

[DiamShadowWraith]

Tedward and Lorraine disliked this twice.

[bigbabs86]

OMG This has just made my life I remember asking my mum what happened to pat's hair when he got rid of the beloved mullet

[itjbadboy]

now here's the guy that puts the fun in Fun House... Ronald McDonald?

[Zathres]

God damm i forgot what that looked like

[manzymc]

Just watching Pat Sharpe on Big Brothers Little Brother.. Boy the years have been good to him!! Still looking good xx

[iamwhoiamwhoiammark2]

My dad used to go mad when this came on because he hated it, we only had one TV in the house at this time haha

[jx866]

Note the "TX: TBA" on the VT clock; right up until the last minute they were unsure whether it was a good idea to unleash Pat's luxurious mane on the British public when the 80s were just about over.

[BillyScot1972]

OH SH*T SON

Fun House, Byker Grove and Grange Hill - those were the days.

Pat Sharp Legend

[MrGurlyboy]

This was great TV and I watched probably most of them while the show was running, but I bet nothing like this will go on TV ever again because of stupid political correctness, health and safety, etc. Pat Sharp's hair back then was brilliant.

[desolatesoul87]

The awkward moment when Pat confuses which one's the girl n which one's the boy XD

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@motherflange This was the 80s...

[triptechable]

@ZZZapJohnnyII Pat Sharpe - Hipster before it was cool. sort of.

[MrHammadmossop1988]

@ZZZapJohnnyII Great Episode I Can Remember Seeing This Episode Of Fun House Years Ago In 1989

Its Great To See This Episode Again After 22 Years Thanks For Uploading This

[wrathallll]

@motherflange wearing??? never mind that........look at whats attached to his fucking head!!!!

[motherflange]

@wrathallll Looks like road-kill.

[Templort]

@motherflange Fucking mong..

[Aaronation1984]

I remember watching this on Children's ITV back in 1989

[Searchy001]

and I'll tell you what the show's all about.... Pat Sharps Mullet!! ha!

[jingtroc23]

they don't make programs like this anymore, my son would love it... if he was not to busy playing call of duty... all we had was mario and pats fun house... oh innocent times

[Kaynas1988]

@jingtroc23 my niece who's 4 loves watching FunHouse despite not being born when it first aired, she's like what happens in this game what happens in that game bless

[jingtroc23]

they don't make programs like this anymore, my son would love it... if he was not to busy playing call of duty... all we had was mario and pats fun house... oh innocent times

[CyprusShu]

omg is it me or do the melanie & martina twins look like a teenage lisa kudrow thumbs up if u agree lol

[Craigprice123]

Anymore Fun House UK from Series 1?

[FSinWCR]

That mullet is majestic.

[drcarnage83]

I wonder if she ever became a vet?

[Kaynas1988]

@drcarnage83 i wonder what happened to the four contestants that appeared on the show

[2010Barbon]

LMAO @ Pat Sharp's mullet!

[Alexispink16]

I wish I applied back in the 90's when I was a kid, used to watch this all the time

[jaradoref]

@Alexispink16 you couldn't apply to go on the show, the production team visits schools and hold auditions there.

[Alexispink16]

@jaradoref really ? I didn't know that duh

[jaradoref]

@Alexispink16 Is that sarcasm or is it real?

[Alexispink16]

@jaradoref Sarcasm. Sorry mate, but pretty everyone wanted to go on this show.

[jaradoref]

@Alexispink16 Thought it was lol. But you are right, everyone did want to go on the show.

[crunchend]

It's quite amazing how similar this show stayed for 11 years - although there were many cosmetic changes (not least the fashions), the music, sound effects, concept, presenters, even what Gary King says over the titles etc was pretty identical all the way through. Shows how good a format it was.

[cupcakefairy87]

Look at Pat Sharp's trousers. Tragic 80s fashion.

[1Thompsonmusic]

@cupcakefairy87

Better than the 'fashion' now.

[cupcakefairy87]

Those kids must be about 34 now. Maybe married with children of their own.

[loveviszla]

Ah pat sharp the legend or more like the legendary mullet!

[malcolmffc]

Pat Sharps hairdo is legendary

[emmaloulouwilkinson]

when is funhouse coming back to Challenge :( I miss it!

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@emmaloulouwilkinson Fun House returns to challenge on the 1ST OF AUGUST! ;D and I for one can not wait!

[CNash85]

Thanks for uploading this, especially as it's from a broadcast master, complete with VT clock! I'd imagine that this was difficult to get hold of, let alone convert to a modern format...

[Eggmandu]

More hair than man!

[DJgaZman]

I'm impressed with the quality given that the footage is 22 years old. Great job!

[AidanLunn]

@DJgaZman It is from a *broadcast* quality tape (presumably 1" Type-C videotape as it's from the late 80s), so it's no surprise that it's in high quality.

I expect that the original flash video of this was ripped from a DVD copy of the tape - or a DVD copy of a D3 or DigiBeta coy of the original.

[HorrorQueen7]

I loved (still do actually!) this show so much when I was a kid! The prizes make me laugh now though, they'll have a helicopter ride and a trip to Venice then an alarm clock or a fuzzy toy :D brilliant 90's TV, thank you uploader!

I reckon the red boy was told where it was, bit strange otherwise

[jaradoref]

Was the red boy actually told where the power prize was? With 10 seconds left, he raced to that tag, passing other tags en route to go for it.

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@jaradoref Seeing as it was series 1, I would imagine he did get told so that they could boost the number of applicants for the next series.

[jaradoref]

@ZZZapJohnnyII But the kids can't apply to go on the show. STV visits schools and holds audition processes there.

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@jaradoref Yes but the children would have said if they wanted to audition or not for the show, so in a sense they applied.

[Kaynas1988]

@ZZZapJohnnyII In a interview I read on another website the lad who appeared on the very first show said that they kids were picked

[Kaynas1988]

@ZZZapJohnnyII I can not thank you enough for putting this up, this is the time I have ever seen this episode as I was only 7months old when it started so thank you so much again

[97channel]

@jaradoref The system of letting the viewer, but nobody in the studio, know where the power prize is located has the potential for cheating, as the producers can just set off the cockerel sound effect at any stage they like then use post production to edit in the shot of its location. It creates the effect to the viewer that the location was predetermined when in fact it might not have been.

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@97channel You could possibly be right with that, the camera does cut pretty quickly. However, in the later series, you can see the contestants in the aerial shot of the studio.

[retroflashbackdude]

@97channel My guess is probably the staff decides where the power prize is prior to either the fun house or before they start taping the episode. game shows can sometimes tape several episodes in the same day so the same location might be used more than once that season.

[kaw203]

Is there anywhere we can download a high quality version of this

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@kaw203 This is as high as the quality gets i'm afraid. With it being from the 80's it won't be good quality anyway. Only real suggestion is changing the youtube quality on the video changing it to 480p.

[skapunkscott]

Cool, that gooey slime/gunge must have felt pretty good squishing between their toes since I noticed they were barefoot for that first stunt!

[christopher27436]

hi this good i like fun houes

[AidanLunn]

That version of the Fun House is definitely the best one :)

I'm interested in engineering, so I'm pondering over two things:

1) How long and difficult was it to design, make and build the Fun House itself?

2) What makes those car wash brush things at the front move? I suspect they use something pneumatic, as I could hear them hissing with air as they moved in another FH run.

I know no-one'll know the answer, but you have to admit, the FH was an amazing feat of engineering!!!

[JasonC1782]

@AidanLunn Oh, absolutely; the STV set designers and engineers surpassed themselves with every incarnation of the Fun House.

The one in this episode and all the early series is pretty similar to the one in the original US version of the show.

[SMA6160]

I believe according to the production number it was episode 13

[RapierMedia]

Was this the first ever episode?

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@RapierMedia We are quite sure it's not the first episode but do know however that it is from Series 1

[jaradoref]

@RapierMedia It is not the first episode.

[Kaynas1988]

@RapierMedia No, the very first episode, the contestants were from Southampton and Newcastle

[greenwater735]

Awesome Fun House from 1989 in UK.

[AidanLunn]

I've already seen this on Vimeo.

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

@AidanLunn The uploader sent me the video to upload to YouTube.

[DoctorVVh0]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing :)

[jaradoref]

Fantastic Upload! Thanks for this. Anymore 2 come?
