Gatekeepers (game show)

Gatekeepers was a British television game show that aired in the 1980s. The premise revolved around two teams, each comprising celebrities, competing to answer trivia questions and navigate a physical obstacle course. The obstacle course, often themed around historical or fantastical settings, presented the primary challenge. Teams would need to strategize and cooperate to overcome the obstacles and score points.

The show's title, Gatekeepers, referred to the individuals guarding specific checkpoints or challenges within the obstacle course. These "Gatekeepers" would pose questions or demand certain actions be performed before allowing the team to progress further. Correct answers or successful completion of tasks were rewarded with passage, while failure resulted in penalties or delays.

The show was known for its lighthearted tone and the humorous interactions between the celebrity contestants and the Gatekeepers. It combined elements of general knowledge quizzes with physical challenges, appealing to a broad audience. While not a ratings juggernaut, Gatekeepers maintained a loyal following during its run and is remembered as a quirky and entertaining example of 1980s British television.
