the round, there would then be a series of quickfire general knowledge questions, which, as the game was usually played at the end of the show, often determined the winners of that week's showdown. Scratch's Cupboard In this feature, viewers guess what would be in the hyena's dark green cupboard; Holly & Stephen would give out some clues to what would be inside before the viewers started to phone in to guess their answers; more clues would be described the following week if an incorrect answer was given the previous week. If the caller gives out the correct answer, they would win prizes; more prizes were added to the previous weeks' prize if an incorrect answer occurred in consecutive weeks. Example:- "It's round, red, hard, something you play with, sits on a table = a snooker ball". Gunge N'Groove As part of Saturday Showdown Extra, Stephen or Holly would stand in a gunge tank, wearing ear defenders with giant ears on both sides, guessing charades to popular songs using props. Example:- Holly would wear a blonde Heidi Range wig with a red apron = Red Dress by Sugababes. If they answered correctly, there was no gunging but if they did answer incorrectly, the presenter would be gunged. Other Games Since Ministry of Mayhem started many games have been played, to date many have been discontinued including: Snap: This is the most recent edition where hyenas Scratch and Sniff put their paws into mousetraps attached to a Wheel of Fortune-style wheel. The caller that selects the trap that Doesn't go off wins a prize. Specials Christmas editions of MoM were aired on 25 December 2004 and 24 December 2005. The most notable special edition was on 17 September 2005, in honour of ITV's 50th anniversary, where the programme celebrated the history of Saturday morning children's television on the network. The special guests were a selection of presenters from the programme's many predecessors, sharing their memories and participating in the usual MoM items. The guests were Sally James, Neil Buchanan, Gareth Jones, Gaby Roslin, Pat Sharp, Jenny Powell, Gail Porter and Brian Dowling - with a special appearance from Timmy Mallett. There were also interviews with Chris Tarrant and Ant & Dec - and The Phantom Flan Flinger, mascot of Tiswas, was revived.
