Scavengers: ITV's Entry In The History of Adventure Game Shows, and John Leslie's Entry in 'Who Can't Act'

"The time: The Future. The place: Deep Space. Aboard the mothership Scavenger, the shuttlecraft Vulture prepares for takeoff. At the helm, Commander John Leslie..."

And thus ended all credibility this show had within 30 seconds. 

In 1994, ITV wanted a piece of the adventure game show pie and, in association with 20th Century Fox, came up with a show that had the working title "Aliens: The Game Show". Ridley Scott got wind of the idea and told them in no uncertain terms: "No." Thus Scavengers was born.
