Some seemed genuinely happy to find the forum and would write an opening monologues referring to 'many happy years of future posting' etc., then they'd just vanish. This site seems to swallow up new members like a vortex.

Now, there's a much missed programme. Did anyone ever work out the alien currency?

Ooh, Ooh.... I know how the currency worked.
The value was worked out by multiplying the number of sides/edges the coin had by the number position of it's colour on the rainbow spectrum.
1 = red
2= orange etc

So a green circle would be worth four points because it only had one edge/side and it's fourth in the rainbow.  1x4=4
A blue triangle would be worth 15 because it has three sides/edges and it's colour number is five.  3x5=15

I loved so much about that programme, most especially how they worked out the currency and that all the names of the regular participants from arg were anagrams of the word dragon, as was the collective name of the planet's inhabitants and the currency.
Just fabulous.  ;D
Aww I miss it. lol

I used to feel genuinely upset for the people who had to take the bus home.

Definitely one of my fave programs too - if they could bring this back (probably have to update the bit guiding dogran around the maze via a BBC), and the interceptor I'd be very happy.

I loved it too, it was awesome wasn't it? I watched re-runs on Sky a while ago, and I was really happy to find it was still great. lol

The guy who played the interceptor had the most wicked laugh I've ever heard.

Always a brilliant show. So much fun if you didn't really like the competitors and at the end of the show only one of their backpacks is still unlocked and it's the one without the money!
