For example, who would have thought Doctor Who’s Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor) and Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor) teamed up with Geoffrey from Rainbow?

It’s an entertaining game that may be from a simpler time, but the laughs are still as contagious now as it was then. I guess that’s the bonus of the three discs that contain this version; The game is so lively you don’t really care.
