Hugo (Danish: Skærmtrolden Hugo, often referred to as "Hugo the Troll" in English) was a children's interactive television show created by the Danish company Interactive Television Entertainment (ITE). Since its premiere on TV2 in 1990, this popular live one-player interactive game show has aired in more than 40 countries. The program's audience callers used their telephones to guide the titular character, a sympathetic small "TV troll" named Hugo, in various simple video-game scenarios to help him brave various dangers. Typically, the goal of the game was to reach and overcome an evil witch and thus rescue Hugo's family, after which the players would be rewarded based on their performance. The show has been adapted into multiple video-game releases and into various merchandise and other media in an extended media and merchandise franchise.
