Welcome to Repeat Our Delete — the podcast that dives headfirst into the weirdest television ever broadcast and asks the important question: should it be repeated forever… or deleted from history?

This week, Joe, Planty and James enter the baffling world of Runaround (1975–1981), the children’s quiz show where:

• Kids sprint between answers in total confusion
• Wrong answers send you to “the pit”
• Mike Reid shouts “GO GO GO!” at terrified children
• Random men appear with giant bicycles and miniature fairgrounds
• Jonah Lewie turns up for absolutely no reason
• And somehow… this was peak family entertainment

Along the way we discuss:

📺 Lost episodes and ITV chaos

🚲 The world’s largest tricycle

🎡 Tiny mechanised fairgrounds

🎵 “You Will Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties”

🚨 The Semaphore Public Safety Song

📼 Portable TVs, encyclopedias, and deeply confusing prizes

💀 Ask Jeeves finally dying

🎤 Malcolm McLaren telling villagers “Jesus was a sausage”

…and a giant inflatable blue thing that absolutely should not have been on children’s television.

Featuring:

• Mike Reid at maximum confusion
• “Two young ladies in the pit we have”
• “Something gone wrong again?” “No.”
• Mark, who likes watching TV
• The Tittering Chapter Bot of Transubstantiation
• And the terrifying reality competition “Air Castle”
