I reckon it'll be Challenge. They did say they were planning to revive an old classic a while back.

Yes, well Sky tried in 2000. Didn't really catch on then....

OK, here goes....LET THE TV-FORUM SPECULATION COMMENCE!!

Who will present it? Does the 1997 / 2000 set still exist? Will they use Quiz Wizard or re-recording?


Obligatory YouTubeClips

1997 with Michael Aspel and Stephen Merchant:


2000 with Liza Tarbuck

I think I have said this in a similar thread on here, but Fred Dinenage would be quite good if its going to be more faithful to the original than those other two rubbish ones were.

Just "Over 18"? The contestants were originally students. Are they banned from having an upper age limit now?

I guess it depends on which channel is planning to revive it as to who the presenter is (ie. who they can afford). If it's ITV reviving it then it'll probably be hosted by Vernon Kay.
