70s kids' quiz revived

Johnny Vegas is to host a revival of the Seventies kids' quiz show Runaround.

The comic will be taking over the role made famous by EastEnder Mike Reid and his catchphrase: "Runaround now" and "G-g-g-g-go".

He is recording a one-off special on Tuesday, promising special guests and "a bevy of lovely ladies".

The show will be screened on BBC1.

For audience tickets to the recording, which takes place at TV Centre in London from 1pm, call 020 8576 1227.
