It was Halloween every day in this spooky ITV adventure game show for kids, with two teams of children playing games and answering questions in a haunted gothic mansion (the “Terror Towers” of the title).
The two teams tested their mental and physical dexterity against a backdrop of shrinking rooms, disappearing floorboards and howling gales. The emphasis was very much on ghouls, ghosts, cobwebs and cauldrons.
The show was hosted by former MotorMouthpresenter Steve Johnson, who was abetted by Boris, a gigantic spider (operated and voiced by Francis Wright), and an assortment of spooky characters and creatures.
The show was co-created by another ex-Motormouth star, Neil Buchanan.
