Voiced by Donny Most (from Happy days) and Willie Aames (no jokes there, please).

Six young people would get on a funfair ride, named Dungeons and Dragons, and would be catapulted into a different reality, and would then change roles.

They would try to get back home, and were given magic weapons, which, the villain of the piece, Verger, would try to steal in order to gain power over the dungeonmaster and the whole realm.

The characters were aged between 10 and 18, and included siblings Bobby and Sheila.

This lasted approximately 25 minutes per episode, and was quite entertaining to the children of the Eighties. It was imported to Britian from the USA in about 1988.
