2. Takeshi’s caste
Takeshi’s castle is a game show that featured around 100-142 contestants which would take part
in a number of difficult tasks that would usually end with the contestants falling into a big pool of
dirty water (the drink), it was first aired in 1986 and finished in 1990 on the Tokyo broadcasting
system.
The show was popular due to its immensely funny slapstick humour from watching contestants
being smacked around a verity of obstacle courses designed to beat each contestant into a huge
pool of water.
