This Morning Healthkickers

The Health Kick Final from 2010, as the This Morning Healthkickers take on the Assault Course at Adrenalin in North Yorkshire.

Synopsis

Properly challenging, immensely popular and fondly remembered game show which combined quiz, puzzle, and physical challenges. Indeed, so successful was it that a revival was probably inevitable, though it was a long time coming.

Key moments

In 1989, contestant Judith Stafford broke her ankle on the assault course after jumping down onto a platform, yet still managed to finish the course. Her leg was in plaster all through the studio rounds, showing that the assault course was filmed prior to the studio rounds (the Response round was filmed first).

Catchphrases

"All the points won in that round go immediately into the scoreboard".

Trivia

The Krypton Factor was one of the first new-style game shows to be exported to the USA, though it was a bit of a flop - there was one short series in 1981 (the winner and runner-up went on to compete against that year's UK winner and runner-up in a special Krypton Factor International ), and a junior version in 1990.

Champions

Winners of the title "United Kingdom Superperson of the Year" (from 2009 onwards, plain old "Krypton Factor Champion") were as follows:

Merchandise

The Krypton Factor had a number of clothing merchandises, including a pair of black trainers bearing the Krypton K on the sides and the tongue.
