Run the Risk is a British children's game show, which ran from 26 September 1992 to 28 December 1996. It aired as part of the Saturday morning shows Going Live! and Live & Kicking. It was presented by Peter Simon for the entire run alongside Shane Richie, John Eccleston and Bobby Davro. The games the teams had to do involved gunge and were similar to those performed on It's a Knockout. Run the Risk borrowed much from its predecessor, Double Dare, which was also hosted by Simon. The links for the show were written by John Mann and Paul Dudderidge.
