The Crystal Maze rumoured to be returning...

It's been announced over the weekend that's not happening.

I was referring to 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'

Interesting, never knew that still existed, that show finished about 10 years ago didn't it?

I loved this show, but it lost something when Richard O'Brien stopped presenting it. I would say bring him back but he's 66 now!!! The more I think about it, the more I think Russell Brand would make a suitable host, you need someone slightly quirky and with a personality. Not a bland like milk host such as Fearne Cotton or Dermot O' Leary.

Do you mean that it has been announced that he won't be playing himself in Hollywood films or that he will not NOT be involved in a comeback of the Maze?



Ha ha ha!!!!

Surely they have bought it back by now, if the set still existed?

How do you book the maze to use for team building? This is the first I've heard about the maze still being in existance, even the numerous fan sites don't seem to be aware of it.

Even if it is still in existance, an new production would probably want to be different enough to the old series (games, zones, layouts, routes between zones, decoration, props, and quality - especially if produced in HD) that the set would probably have to be rebuilt.

Last I heard it was dismantled years ago

Getting confused with this sought of thing? http://www.chillisauce.co.uk/corporate-events/team-building-days/crystal-maze/

You also need the right amount of space i.e. the aircraft hangar area was perfect. I can't see it being the same in a studio some how.

I feel, they would also need to have slight redesign of the Crystal Dome Set and the Future Zone as they both look dated now.

As much as I enjoyed the Crystal Maze zone games, I always felt that the show was let down by the final end game - collecting flying bits of paper in a wind machine.
