[1] Hosted by Les Dawson,[2] it was an adaptation of an unsold pilot produced for US television in 1984 by Jay Wolpert.
The catch was that the captain had to split the thirty seconds into four different time limits and then choose which friend would answer the question.
The captain was never sent to the Dump Dock, but if he/she gave a wrong answer, he/she had to select a friend to send there.
In the final round, the winning captain was joined by all his/her friends once again and they were given a selection of answers to a question on the video wall.
The original unsold pilot was shot on 28 November 1984 hosted by Bob Goen.
