Perhaps we improved on it when STV gold hold of it, by just going ape crazy at every opportunity about, well everything basically. it was all about the mess, the destruction, the chaos... our version was exhausting to watch even as an adult all these years later never mind as a kid!

I'd go along with that - I tend to think with every series they ramped up that chaotic element (Andrew O'Connor was kept on as a writer / consultant - comedy producer Jon Magnusson had a similar role for a time)

The last STV series (where they added Diane Youdale as co-host) did feel like one of your typical 'last roll of the dice' revamps - not that it was the most drastic shake-up (though there was a new production team behind it) and yet typically, it was enough to ensure the show wouldn't be back.
