Even many of us who use it aren't the biggest fans of it.

Crystal Maze got 0.88m viewers on Channel 4 on 1/9/17 excluding +1. It needs to be moved from that slot into a decent slot, there are too many good shows on at the same time. It deserves to do well!! It should be getting more viewers than the celeb editions!!

Up against EastEnders and Coronation Street isn't a good slot. Still, do they have figures have many are using +1, recordings and catch-up?

I thought this might interest some on here. Smile

Yes, Heather Wilson. Looked her up on the Crystal Maze fansite listing thingy, she won two games in series 3, the raft game (which itself has returned to an extent) and that cheap "move the monk with this backwards winch without hitting a bell" game. Her team got 7 crystals but didn't win the top prize Smile Doubt the team will get 7 crystals this time though... Time will tell.

Shame they didn't give her the revived raft game (that Louie Spence made a pigs ear of) but that "don't touch the balls" game is similar to her old bell game.

Yes, they showed a clip of her game in Industrial on Sunday Brunch, it mentioned her being on the original series.

Some 90s looking payphones in that clip!

Thought that was a nice looking game though.

The celeb shows were adding up to 900k, however that could helped in a small way by the celebs social media presence.

3 games in the first zone tonight, possibly thanks to a speedy first couple of games.

I will admit this has grown on me. I actually enjoyed some of Richard's remarks! And they went round the maze properly! Wonders will never cease!
