Wasnt every word or every persons name an anagram of Dragon? money was called Drogna..etc.. I remember the final puzzle was that coloured board of different geometric shapes they had to cross...in later series it was the dreaded Vortex that would suck them off to space if they walked into it.

It mutated, really, into later incarnations as "The Crystal Maze" et. al.
Similarly with the first few editions of "The Great Egg Race," producing "Scrapheap Challenge" etc.

But the originals had their truly unique charm.
And characters...
