The Adventure Game - series 1 (1980)

Adam and Heather rambled on something rotten this week, so we've split their conversation about 1980s children's game show The Adventure Game into two parts - series 1 now, and series 2 next time if you're very good and eat up all your vegetables.

Moira Stuart is really a lizard person, and she has Heather, Adam and a random civilian trapped in a gloomy cave system, forcing them to complete impossibly convoluted puzzles for her own amusement... or is it all just a particularly baffling dream? And who keeps making that annoying honking sound?

But don't worry - a certain bearded intergalactic rascal is here in his 1980 trousers to save the day. Will Heather make it all the way through the episode without having one or more conniptions?

Robert Malos demands that you like, rate, review and subscribe to the podcast, and you'd better do what he says.

The Monkees - season 1 (1966)

Hey hey we're Adam and Heather

And people say we Adam and Heather around.

Leonard Nimoy has really become a Vulcan and Michael Nesmith has put his fist through a wall (and it coulda been your face), so it's time to pull on our green woollen hats and double-breasted red shirts and join the world's first manufactured boy band on their tartrazine-fuelled romp around the dispiriting mid-60s music industry. It's The Monkees!

But will Adam be nice about Heather's favourite band and TV show, or will he become a shirtless outcast wandering through the desert in search of a Coke machine, only to capture the entire Italian army, become sucked up into a giant vacuum cleaner, get rescued by mermaids, have a tour of a dangerous chemical plant, fight Sonny Liston, and end up right back inside the big black box?

Monkees is the craziest people.

Let me tell you one thing, son. Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

Next Episode

The Adventure Game - series 2 (1981)

Part 2 of Adam and Heather's Adventure Game chinwag, in which they leave Paul and Robert far behind... but not Lesley. Oh no, not Lesley - it seems like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but we get to see a whole other side of her in this episode. You thought Tina Heath getting pregnant was shocking? Think again.

Meanwhile, we meet Graeme Garden, Carol Chell and Stretched Adric for a journey through Series 2 Arg, and a very difference place it is too, with different Argonds. These furry tubes are much more threatening and snarly than the cuddly lizards of Series 1.

Find out whether Heather is able to recover from watching Paul Darrow AND Graeme Garden in the same sitting; and whether Adam will reach a point of nostalgia overload.

Gandor requests, sir and madam, that you like (12 drognas), rate (9 drognas), review (16 drognas) and subscribe to the podcast (5 drognas), thank you most kindly, if you'd just like to pop the money into the slot, the amounts are clearly marked.
