‘You can be my personal opposition. We shall play endless games collectively – your brain against mine.’

The travellers arrive in the dangerous domain from the Toymaker, where their failure to win at some games could result in them becoming his playthings for eternity. Evidently innocuous nursery people reveal deadly objective, and for companions Steven and Dodo the stakes are elevated with every video game of blind man’s buff and musical chair.

This fondly-remembered story, only 1 bout of which survives in the tv screen archives, is narrated by Peter Purves who also played Steven in the story. Michael Gough may be the Toymaker and Jackie Street is Dodo, whilst Carmen Silvera adopts a number of roles.
