Don't Forget Your Toothbrush

Don't Forget Your Toothbrush was also a game show, with members of the audience chosen to participate in a series of humorous challenges and win cash or prizes.

One game featured during the second series involved home viewers following Evans' instructions to flash their house lights on and off at a particular moment.

Each member of the audience was obliged to bring a passport and a packed suitcase to the studio, and to arrange to take the following week off work (unless they were unemployed or, as was pointed out, did not care if they lost their jobs).

They were asked a maximum of nine questions about the exotic destination, alternating between teammates; each right or wrong answer lit a section of a giant cocktail glass or ice cream cone, respectively.

Evans would introduce this segment by looking between alternate cameras in time to a drum beat that parodied the scene changes from one of his favourite TV shows, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

In the penultimate episode of the first series, Evans constantly touted a huge surprise throughout the show, but did not reveal it until "Light Your Lemon" was about to begin.

In the final episode of this series, the item-throwing game was played for £2,000, and the "Light Your Lemon" quiz gave the chosen studio contestants a chance to win either a Ferrari 308 or a fish finger.
