10.4 - The Adventure Game

This game show ran on UK TV for just 22 episodes, but it was quite a turning point in game shows and is fondly remembered by so many people ... do you remember the aspidistra? or being evaporated by the vortex?

10.3 - Dusty Bin
In the 1980s, there was a popular TV gameshow called 321 where the booby prize was a new dustbin/trashcan. The bin became iconic & people wanted to win it!

Read a book written by an author whose initials can be found in DUSTY BIN. Letters may be used only as often as they appear.

5.8 Roboteers, Stand By

In the late 90s and early 2000s, it wasn't just humans taking part in game shows. Robot Wars was a regular fixture on Friday night TV, with teams of competitors pitting their battling machines against each other - and indeed, the resident house robots, who had such colourful names as Dead Metal, Sergeant Bash and Sir Killalot. As digital technology advanced and became more widely available, it spawned other, similar shows such as FightBox and Bamzooki (for the younger enthusiasts).

Read a book from the first 25 pages of this Robots shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/...

Required: State the page of the shelf your book is found on.
