"Certainly by the mid '90s, even though the show was still in its imperial phase ratings were beginning to tail off for no other reason that viewers were beginning to tire of it - "
However it hasn't stopped Ant and Dec ripping off almost every idea from the show... except thankfully Mr Blobby.
I used to enjoy the Golden Egg Awards on the Late Late breakfast show
I still think up to the 100th episode it was on top form but that point it went downwards.
I've had a look through that channel to see if I can fill in any gaps; there's no new information to be gleaned for the House Party as yet, so further to my original post http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showpost.php?p=72264072&postcount=40 here's an updated Gotcha guide for the Saturday Roadshow.
Still not much info for Series 1, but Noel himself was gotcha'd by Gloria Hunniford on the final episode of the series.

* There has been a show uploaded featuring a Gotcha for Keith Chegwin, but there is not enough information either on the show itself or on the Genome website to be able to definitively date it. By process of elimination, I think it must be either 28/10/89 or 04/11/89.

(In fact, is that one & the bomb scare one, the only times the show didn't go out as scheduled?)
Some really good memories on that YT channel
Especially Donna running out of the room in House Party episode 4 when NTV came calling and they had to fill time as they couldn't get Donna back
Some pretty good episodes still to come and hopefully the full episodes of the DLT Gotcha and the week after when DLT gets his own back
Still not much info for Series 1, but Noel himself was gotcha'd by Gloria Hunniford on the final episode of the series.
