The Adventure Game

on BBC Two England

A direct broadcast from Arg - a small, red planet on the far side of the Galaxy inhabited by a race of polite, transmetamorphic dragons. They normally assume the shape of their visitors, all except his Highness The Rangdo that is. He now permanently resembles an aspidistra - he was enjoying the cool, green feel of being one a couple of years ago and became stuck. This seems to have caused him to become bad-tempered and he is now rather fond of evaporating trippers from Earth.
Each week a party of three people visits the planet to challenge the Rangdo to a battle of wits. They'll face various problems including the traditional Arg Drogna Game. This is played on a grid of different shapes and colours, and the winner receives the Great Crystal of Arg. Can the earthlings defeat the logic of their opponent, the Red Salamander of Zardil?
There is a phone-in too, but only if you placed your call 133j Earth years ago! This week's Earth visitors are: Sarah Green , Anne Miller and Richard Stilgoe Residents of Arg:
