This is all well & good, but what about The Crystal Maze UK on Channel 4?? Half of the series from last year has yet to air, along with 3 episodes from the 2017 revived series. Hardly anyone can receive Nickelodeon to tune in to watch the American version.

Nice, looking forward to seeing how Adam is in it, hopefully he doesn't ruin it

It's one where you just want to see one episode really to see if they made a mess of it. It's something that didn't really turn up in the usual places when it originally aired later this year. I think Nick is on the Now TV Kids pass so if I can get a free trial for that I'll probably take a look.

There's a bit of presentation example on the Nickelodeon channel on YouTube:

What, hardly anyone has Sky? That doesn't sound right.

Or Virgin. Or BTTV. Or NowTV. Or TalkTalkTV. It's not like it's some obscure channel with little availablitity or takeup.

Well, depends if you count 10 million subscribers as 'hardly anyone'.

Majority of U.K. viewers (and I'd presume a majority of this forum) only have Freeview but Nick is no Merit, it has plenty of viewers

I don’t have Sky.

The fact the US version uses kids, not celebs, instantly ticks the nostalgia box and harks back to what worked for the show originally. Not sure what the show status is at the moment but if it takes social distancing for the UK to use families instead of celebs and they give Richard Ayode a longer hand then they could easily proceed with filming.

Exactly, Sky alone has lots of viewers, let alone the other platforms Nick is available on. It simply isn't true that "hardly anyone can receive Nickelodeon, even though it's not on Freeview.
