Splatalot!
Splatalot! is a medieval-themed physical game show that premiered in Canada on Corus Entertainment's YTV on 14 March 2011, hosted by Jason Agnew and Matt Chin. It premiered in the United Kingdom on CBBC on 13 June 2011 with Dick and Dom as hosts and in Australia on ABC3 on 5 November 2011 with Kayne Tremills and Scott Tweedie as hosts. The series was inspired by the game show Wipeout, designed for a younger demographic. The British and Australian CBBC and ABC3 broadcasts of the show used the same filmed footage as the original Canadian YTV version, but with local presenters providing commentary.
Splatalot! was produced by marblemedia and commissioned as an international co-production by Corus Entertainment, the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It featured a large, extreme obstacle course and three rounds of competition: "Cross the Moat", "Ditch the Dungeon" ("Escape the Stockade" in the first series), and "Capture the Crown". Each episode features a different group of 12 teenage contestants (known as Attackers) competing against not only the obstacles and the clock but also the Defenders. The Defenders are an international squad of nine medieval-themed gladiators who are tasked with protecting the castle from the Attackers. The winning Attacker is crowned King or Queen of Splatalot!. This king or queen is able to then choose a defender to punish in one of many ways, such as throwing them into the water with a catapult.
The series was produced using a 2.5-acre set built on a 50-acre lot located at 44°02'19.0"N 80°13'51.2"W (previously used to shoot The Adrenaline Project) owned by marblemedia in Amaranth, Ontario, Canada and featured contestants from Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company had spent a year collaborating with theme park engineers to design the course.
The first season, consisting of 26 episodes, was shot on location in September and October 2010. On 3 February 2012 the series was renewed for a 26 episode second season. It was shot the following summer.
Following the recording of the series, the set remained abandoned and was a popular attraction for trespassers. The set was later demolished in 2018 as part of a series called "Smashalot!". At the beginning of the first episode, reasons are listed for the demolition, including YouTubers, being too costly to repair, having unpaid property taxes, crack-dealing and opposition from the local community.
Contestants, known as "Attackers" were drawn from schools and sports clubs from across Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. They consist of children aged 12 and up. A different group of attackers feature in every episode.
Splatalot! featured a recurring cast of Defenders, consisting of six charismatic young adults. Each episode featured 3 Defenders per round, (but all six in the Final) ensuring that the audiences never see the same lineup twice. Each Defender has their unique persona, color, costume, and signature weapon as well as their gimmick (akin to that of a supervillain) - they work together to incite laughter and most importantly, impede the Attackers until one of them proves that he or she is worthy of the crown of Splatalot!.
In season 2, Knightriss, Shaiden, Ballista, Tinkor, Gildar, and Crocness left the show, but they returned to the screen for the show's American run on BYUtv. Only Kook, Thorne, and Skabb remained from Season 1, with Madeva, Faetal, and Vane coming in as replacements. Gildar appears for The 'Celebrity Splatdown' only to announce his departure from the show, and was mentioned in 'Teachers Vs Students Splatdown' and 'Sleepy Matty' ('Dicky' in the UK, 'Scotty' in Australia).
