Ah, The Adventure Game...(wipes small tear away).

Ooh, "Captain Zep, Captain Zep...Super Space Detective"!!! Loved that show!

*sighs exaggeratedly* - Now Fray knows what I was talking about!!! (I may not have described it with any accuracy)!!

I know we've gone completely off topic, but what I loved most about the Adventure Game was those little plastic counters or money or whatever the hell it was they had ... clear plastic with a shape in a bright colour inside it - I really wanted those!!!

Yep, I remember those!

I think most English people of a certain age remember The Adventure Game fondly.

Gronda gronda!

(apologies to any Wonderfalls fans who wandered into this thread and are now thoroughly confused!).

I vaguely recall Captain Zep, mostly the theme tune. I have much stronger memories of The Adventure Game, that was wonderfully barmy.

I think any Americans who wander into this thread are just going to go "Oh look, the Brits have lost it again." and leave us to it.

YOu know I actually feel sorry for American 30-somethings who didn't grow up with the weirdness that was Oliver Postgate et al...

I like to think such things permenantly warped our little psyches (in a good way, you understand) ...

I think we can safely say the Clangers would have been axed quicker than Wonderfalls! "But, they're talking in whistles - how will the audience understand them?".

We may have lost Cricket but we`ve still got our marbles

Can you remember `The Great Egg Race` ? that`s what I thought of when you mentioned the `Adventure Game` - classic TV.

Another Fox program that fell over was `The Lone Gunmen` (Gawd I forgot the title) - again maybe Fox execs just don`t like to be associated with briliance and kookieness at the same time

Fox killed Harsh Realm, which was really shiny, after just three episodes. If you don't have the DVD set for that one (nine episodes in all) grab it while you can.

"Oh, sweetie, don't feel bad. He makes everybody cry. He's like a monster."
