CBBC - Wait For It..!, Series 1, Episode 9

Contestants from Glasgow do their best to avoid being dropped into the goo portal.

Pete Firman hosts the game show in which contestants must wait as long as possible before answering the questions, as four children from Glasgow play for the star prize.

Wait For It..! is the only show on television where being quick to answer doesn't make you a winner. In fact, the contestants do their best to wait as long as possible before answering the questions because, in this game, the longer you wait, the more points you get. 

Four contestants are transported onto the Intergalactic Time Capsule and over four rounds do their best to avoid being dropped into the goo portal, a large tank of sticky orange gunge! 

In this show, contestants from Glasgow play against their friends as their nerve, reactions and general knowledge are tested. Who will have the patience and the skill to make it through to the final challenge to play for the star prize? You'll just have to wait for it!
