The best episodes were the ones where the "Earth Adventurers" fully entered into the spirit of the thing (sometimes they didn't). I seem to remember Johnny Ball being especially fun :)
The puzzles on this were always ludicrously difficult. Didn't some of them involve discs of various values, depending on the colour and number of sides, but the contestants were never told what base value they had? The whole show was just an exercise in Schadenfreude. It was great!
I wouldn't call them ludicrously difficult - there was usually a very simple (but obscure) logic. The disc values, if I remember right, were the number of sides * the value of the colour, which I think was where it was placed in the spectrum. I don't think they used the resistor colour codes, I'm pretty sure it was spectrum. Once you solved one puzzle, if you understood the idea, you could solve all later puzzles much more easily. Absolutely brilliant show, regardless, and should return.
That was the the Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - The colours of the rainbow cake in if I recall. And the number of sides on the shapes of the coins had reference as well
The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy says that Arg is home to probably one of the smuggest species in the universe, irritating unsuspecting visitors with their childish pranks before evaporating them off the planet using a vortex chess game which is weighted against the aliens.
Fantastic memories. Doogy Rev. Great post, thanks

bit like 'Saw' without the entrails.
