About

Don't Try This at Home is a British game show produced by LWT with Golden Square Pictures and broadcast on ITV between 16 May 1998 and 7 April 2001. It took up the slot of the Saturday challenge game show slot left by its long-running and more sedate predecessor You Bet!. The executive producers were Nigel Lythgoe for LWT and Victor Glynn for Golden Square Pictures. It featured real people facing tough challenges such as swinging under a bridge. It was hosted by Davina McCall with co-hosts including Darren Day, Kate Thornton and Paul Hendy. Russ Williams was the event commentator. A lifetime medal was awarded for winning a challenge or having a very good try.
