wiseheartYeah, there is such thing. I've just watched it on German TV (SAT, for the German among us). It lasted more than two hours, but it seemed mere minutes, so enjoyable it was.
The main goal was to give few truckloads of toys (useful ones, like Legos and other constructive stuff) to the children of few different German cities. To reach said goal, children *and* celebrities had to play funny games. A game won - a truck got loaded with toys.
There were those girls, 10 and 13 year old, Valerie and Anna-Maria, with the perfect pitch. They were able to recognize 40 (!) different Lego stones by the clank they make when hitting a plastic surface. It was incredible, and they were so sweet and so modest, a rarity nowadays.
There was that basketball team of small boys who played against three members of the Harlem Globetrotters. The actual players played with real balls and baskets, of course, while the boys with the Lego version of the game. The goal was to gather more points in 1.5 minutes - the boys won 114-73.
They had built a futuristic city of Lego, with illuminated buildings and funny obstacles for an actor who was shipped in *under* the whole structure and driven by a joystick that another actor had to handle. He could only use his head, but he mastered all obstacles.
There were three celebrities (comedians) who had to recognize pictures made of Lego by fragments they were shown. Other celebrities had to recognize song titles while one of them had to build structures of Lego to help them.
It was really, really funny and exciting. Seldom have I enjoyed a TV programme this much.
Oh, and I've also written chapters 4 and 5 of "The Face of the Enemy". A short epiloge to go, and I'll have finished a whole story in a mere two weeks. Go me!
Of course, the fact that one of those two weeks was autumn holidays and I couldn't leave the house because of my stubborn cold, did help things. :)
