Double Dare was a British children's game show based on the US version of the same name, which ran from 26 September 1987 to 18 April 1992. It was aired as part of the Saturday morning show Going Live!. It was presented by Peter Simon for the entire run. After the show's run ended in April 1992, its successor Run the Risk began in September 1992 with most of the games and format being carried over from Double Dare.
Due to British TV law forbidding children from winning cash, the teams played for points and the team with the most points could win up to eight prizes in 60 seconds by running through the obstacle course.
