In the game, the presenter's would visit quiet and solemn places such as art gallerys, museums, libaries and theatres. They would try and blend in to the background then start playing the game. The aim of the game is to shout "BOGIES!" louder than your partner. You start quiet and gradually get louder. The looser is the contestant who either doesn't shout "BOGIES!" as loud as the previous contestant, or bottles out first.
The game may sound childish, and it is, but it is also very funny. People accross the UK, children and students alike, have been immitating the game and causing havock accross the nation.
In mechanics terms, a bogie is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle.
A bogie in the UK, or a wheel truck, or simply truck in the U.S., is a structure underneath a train to which wheelaxles (and, hence, wheels) are attached through bearings.
Tram bogies are much simpler in design because of lighter axle load, this and tighter curves that are found on tramways means that tram bogies almost never have more than two axles.
