    Not heard anything but who do you think they should get to present it? my opinion is Richard O'Brian best Crystal Maze presenter, dont really know who could do it now. Do you think it would be a hit again?

    Good lord. No I haven't heard this but I WOULD love it. Although to be honest I'm not entirely sure Challenge has got the money to make it - it used to cost a fortune to put it on when channel 4 did it?

    No way that would be amazing was defiantly the best programme on when I was a kid. Just hope they do it better the the new blockbuster game show as it just doesn't feel the same

    I always liked the crystal maze and they could make it feel the same if they got Edward Tudor-Pole to host it as he hosted it from the fifth series

    Cracking show, would love to see it back on the screens.

    Agree though it needs the right host, similarly Catchphrase wasn't the same without Roy "Say what you see" Walker.

    It would give me a reason to watch challenge and i agree Richard O'Brian was the best presenter even though he freaked me out as a kid.

    Re: Crystal Maze

    I was on a team in the first series, and in our case it was recorded at Shepperton (yup, the same one) in the 'H' Stage, which is the stage where they filmed all the water-borne stuff for the earlier James Bond movies, because the entire stage can be flooded!

    It was a couple or three years later, when Shepperton was unavailable, that the production moved to Aces High; and I'm told that IF this rumour is ture, it might almost certainly be filmed in Argentina. Why? Simple: facilities and labour costs. It's apparently cheaper to do everything out there ((including flying the contestants out) than it would be to make the series here. >sigh<

    Presenter? Who knows! My suggestions for someone who could actually do the job well would include Richard E Grant, Stephen Mangan, and Kit Hesketh-Harvey. I'm told that Noel Edmonds and Dale Winton were both seriously under consideration at one point (omigod! omigod NO!).

    I've heard very little but this seemed like the sort of '… wretched hive of scam and villainy …' Hidden Content where one of the other visitors just might know a bit more.

    Some of you older posters may remember the Mary Whitehouse Experience skit where the team utterly failed in trying to make a cup of tea!

    i spent many a night loving the crystal maze and would not miss it without fail when i was younger.

    could they remake

    i dont think so

    it would not be the same times have changed and i think it would be to outdated.

    challenge is an ok channel well its got some classics on it i dont mind teh fact that tna is on it also so cant complain

    Re: Crystal Maze

    The risk here is that they would make something too flashy and stylish with none of the 'set-could-collapse-at-any-moment' charm of the original. It would just look like the cube or something equally bland.

    My favorite moment ever on the show was where one contestant was trying to do some crossbow challenge or something and their teamate said, with no hint of irony, 'Try aiming it!'

    Re: Crystal Maze

    OMG i hope so I use to love the crystal maze it was the maverick game show of its time, I remember when I was younger and had to clean my room I would pretend I was stuck in the crystal maze and only has x amount of minutes to clean my table or bed, If this is true I cannot wait, it would be much better than the game shows we have now, which lack the finesse on the old game shows.
