The Adventure Game

- Season 3

(1984)

The third series sees The Adventure Game broadcast directly from Arg as part of Arg-O-Vision. New elements include viewer phone calls, plus the first appearance of Dagnor, the backwards-talking Argond.

Sue Nicholls, Duncan Goodhew and guest Emma Disley face stilt walking, scaling ladders, multiple evaporations and a bed of nails. But their trials don't mean that Uncle will take it easy on them in the Vortex.

In arguably the most bizarre episode, Chris Serle attempts to please Uncle by singing him a ballad, accompanied by the Argestra. Will his song win favour, or will Sandra Dickinson and Adam Tandy have to carry on without him?

"Stopwatch" presenter Paul McDowell joins Bonnie Langford and Mastermind finalist Christopher Hughes in a series of increasingly bizarre puzzles and outlandish situations.

Janet Fielding, judo champion Neil Adams and antiques dealer Nigel Crockett face the challenges of Arg in a week where Uncle is in a particularly bad mood. Will Uncle's unorthodox Vortex strategy work, or cause him further anger?

The final edition of the third series sees Noel Edmonds, Fern Britton and member of the public Ray Virr try to get through the various hazards of Arg. But more importantly than that - it's His Royal Highness The Rangdo of Arg's birthday.
