"The Adventure Game". I remember bits of it quite well. There was a bloke who talked backwards all the time (our playground was full of kids shouting "Doogy rev" at each other), the plant you mentioned, and the "vortex" at the end. The newscaster Moira Stewart used to be in it as well and it was hosted by some mad old grandad type character.

thank u so much Dino Martino that was it vortex at the end!

More fact about the game! This was the rough premise of the Adventure Game, a show which ran between 1980 and 1986. The brainchild of Patrick Dowling, the show belonged to an era that brought us challenge shows like Now Get Out of That and The Great Egg Race. The difference with the Adventure Game was that it showed celebrities thinking.

Some guests took to it better than others - Richard Stilgoe and the frighteningly intelligent Graeme Garden stalked the hallways of Arg, attacking the various puzzles with frightening tenacity, seemingly born to rescue eggs from tubes by inflating balloons, chewing straws and boiling kettles, and worryingly happy chatting to the Argonds in backwards languages or semaphore.

Unfortunately, for every Graeme Garden there was always an assistant weather forecaster, kids tv presenter or, in one episode, marketing executive. There was a perverse pleasure in watching terrifyingly dim celebrities hide behind their hair while they tried to work out the intricacies of the Drogna, the planet's incredibly hard-to-follow currency based on shapes and colour (basically a red circle was worth one drogna, but a blue pentagon was worth 25).

In this episode, Dr Graeme Garden heads to Arg with PlaySchool presenter Carol Chell, and Rubik's cube champion Nicholas Hammond. They're there to rescue Lesley Judd, not realising that the Blue Peter presenter has gone over to the dark side.

WOW! SL You've either got an excellent memory or have done a bit on internet cribbing!! LOL. I remember 'The Adventure Game' but to be honest it never did much for me. I do remember Carol Chell being on one programme though and wearing these huge Su Pollard sized glasses!!!

naaaaaaa i use to love that show, Myself and old friends use to make that plant noise lol! and if we see the plant, we shake it!

Oh The Adventure Game was Classic. The Plant was Someone who'd been Transformed into the Rubber Plant by something, He Had a Name and i can't for the Life of me Remember it!! :-s
