The Apollo 15 capsule landed safely despite a parachute failure. ... Mark Durden-Smith (born 1 October 1968) is a British television presenter. ...
Celebrities that took part were:
Cheryl Baker (TV presenter; broke her leg after being dropped)
A huge audience of adults and children were periodically invited to assemble themselves Runaround-style on the faces to decide who should be eliminated from the game, based on how well the celebrities in question were coming across to them.
The weakest celebrity would then be made to parachute from the plane back to Earth.
This celebrity was given £10,000 for charity, but was given a chance to add another £5,000 to that if they were prepared to jump for the hell of it.
