Cheggers Plays Pop

Cheggers Plays Pop was the kids TV quizshow fronted by everyone's favourite presenter Keith Chegwin. Two teams of children dressed in red or yellow outfits would battle it out with music and trivia questions and I seem to remember they would also have to navigate inflatable obstacle courses for some reason.

Guests on Cheggers Plays Pop included the wonderfully entertaining Bad Manners.

    I'd love to see Brookvale on Cheggers from 1980, episode 4 possibly. My brother was on that show but I haven't seen it since it went out. The name Ray Uttley rings a bell!

    Did I have a crush on Cheggers when I was very young, I think I only watched it because of him!

    Can anyone help. Trying to find a copy of Cheggers Plays Pop 1983, episode 6.5.(shown on 18.05.1983) The show had on pop band Big Country. Trying to get hold of this episode for a friend who was on it from her school (Withins High School, Bolton, Lancs). Her family have never seen the episode and would love to see it. I am trying to get this copy for her 40th birthday as a surprise gift. Can you please help in anyway? Been in touch with BBC sadly they don't have a copy. It's a mission of mine to find a copy, somebody must have a copy of this. Sanjay Mistry Bolton (sanjubhai@btinternet.com)
