That was TV at its best, loved the opening titles using early 3D graphics, plus Mike Moran's futuristic synth led theme tune. Thanks Anton. Fridays were must see days in 1978.

how did they determine who got the head starts on the assault course?
@antonspivack39282 жыл бұрын
The contestants were handicapped by age and gender, so women went before the men and older players went before the younger ones. Starting in 1988 only head start for the women was retained.

i bet you're wondering why Gordon sits so far away from the contestants, it's because if Gordon farts, then the contestants won't be able to smell it.@@davidgoodliff4486
