Games World - The Videators

The Videators were the most prominent characters of the series.

Series 1 saw the emergence of Big Boy Barry, who became the series' most popular character. Other characters over the first year included Master Moriarty - a stuck-up schoolboy, The Games Messiah, Letty Edwards, the Ninja and The Executioner; the latter 3 were all dropped for Series Two. Barry won the majority of his games (primarily Sonic 2) as did Moriarty.

Series 2 saw the return of Barry, along with Master Moriarty and the Games Messiah (now played by a different actor). The most notable new Videators were Mr Mathers, who after a shaky start found his feet and went on a winning streak, and Persian Prince of Perfection, who was inundated with fan mail. Videators such as Combat Kal, the Violet Blade and others tended to lose most of their games and all but one were dropped by the next series .

Series 3 saw the return of Barry, Moriarty, the now-established Mathers and the Violet Blade. New Videators were Trixie Belle, Colin the Console Cowboy, Ragga D, and Electric Eddie. A recurring theme in this series saw Colin the Console Cowboy and the Violet Blade feuding with each other.

Series 4 was rumoured to have Barry, Mathers and Eddie returning as the domineering characters of the show (Mathers and Eddie moreso as players, Barry as the figurehead). Another aborted plan for series four involved a Videator named Big Boy Benny, to be promoted as either a "dark side" alter-ego to Barry or a hapless comic foil, parodying a popular angle from the wrestling world.
