The Great Egg Race - the play (1 of 2)

From a 1985 episode of BBC's The Great Egg Race hosted by Professor Heinz Wolff. Three teams competed to create various special effects during three acts of a play called 'Dastardly Deeds at Eggraze Hall' starring Hal Dyer (Rentaghost) and John Leeson (voice of 'K9' in Doctor Who). This is part 1 (of 2) of that play.

Aah, Prof. Heinz Wolff. Those were the days of real characters on television. Anyone else remember the flailing arms of Dr.Magnus Pike? Bring back the nutters! We adore them all! Lol!

Saw Heinz Wolff once at Brunel University where a mate of mine's dad was a lecturer. Small as I was back then (the mid-80s), I remember being a bit star struck - he was from the telly after all!

Damn right! Magnus Pike all the way!

Do you have any of the regular Great Egg Race contests? This was a brilliant show that did wonderful things for science and engineering.
