Harvy's House

Harvy's House is a Kuboian television show that ran on Vision 1 from 1993 to 1997. Hosted by Roddy Graston and the titular puppet character played by Mike Marion, it was a variety show with games, songs celebrity interviews and previews of upcoming programmes. Each episode was broadcast in front of a live studio audience.

Format
Roddy Graston and Harvy presented Harvy's House live in front of a studio audience that consisted mostly of pre-teen children. Every episode began with Roddy and Harvy entering the stage to discuss what they had gotten up to over the past week; in series one, this was typically something embarrassing or humilating on Graston's ends, though in later series this was changed to mischief Harvy got up to elsewhere in Kuboia during the week.

Each episode featured a celebrity, who was often a popular singer or pop group at the time who would perform one of their latest or upcoming singles live. Each episode also featured a certain number of "Viewers of the Week" (usually four children; two boys and two girls between the ages of nine and thirteen) who would try to play games on the show for prizes.

Eventually, one of the children would have to volunteer to compete with the celebrity of the episode in a head-to-head game called the "Slimy Showdown" - the loser of said game would be placed in a tube where they would be covered in gunge. As the child contestant was given an advantage, very rarely did the celebrity win, although they did on a few occasions. Assuming the child contestant won, they and the other "Viewers of the Week" would win a prize, which was often a video games console and a game. The children were also given a goodies bag regardless of whether they won or lost.

Other features included "Harvy's Sneak Peak", which showed a preview of a programme that would be aired on Bumper's Block later that day. This was eventually dropped in later series.
