I remember it was called Sub Zero and looking on UKGameshows.com it confirms what people were saying about the orbs. The teams had to complete various challenges to win orbs and it was boys vs girls aided by a celebrity. The winners won a prize and the losers got cryogenically frozen in the freezer. Unusually for childrens programmes it went out on Sunday Mornings, normally Live. As a child growing up in that era I remember the programme well.

Yep the idea was that they were in a bunker 10 000m beneath the earth, so the temperature was sub zero, and they needed to find the orbs to warm up, or was it the oposite?

I've just read that apparantly by collecting the orbs (called Biospheres) the teams purified the water in the post-apocolyptic bunker. That was what was said anyway!
It was a really innovative live show, which I feel was one of the first types of interactive television. Especially with the Biosphere Bonanza for the viewers at home where they had to answer a three part multiple choice quesiton and the answer would be a three digit number. Whoever got the biggest percentage (boys or girls) of the correct answer, won, usually the decisive, Biosphere for their team.
Web Connections, where players from internet cafes had to answer questions for their boy/girl teams from Jenna And Robin. The one(s) left standing at the end of the time would also win a Biosphere for their time.
And Net Detectives where one of the team players would be put into an isolation booth and had to answer some tricky riddles which would take them to various websites and they had to find the object on that website. Again, whoever got the most correct won another Biosphere for their team.
It was this era I remember all of these quizzes. I do remember for the final series? they played around with the format and I remember Jenna became some sort of captain which I felt spoilt it and it was after this series it finally disappeared I recall.

I think Level Up is great, a complete change for Children's Breakfast TV, which on other channels is just endless cartoons. I've heard it's doing really well... my wee cousin really enjoys the website. It seems to be quite well integrated with the programme, rather than just a tacked on after thought.
