Tonights Crystal Maze was the one where the group only entered the dome with one crystal giving them 5 seconds of time. A complete shambles. They were rubbish! Laughing


Woo Hoo!!! What a show!!! Glad I recorded this for future prosperity!!!

I notice Richard O'Brien doesn't look as interested and as energetic and lively this series as he did in the previous 3 series? He looks a little depressed sometimes during each programme I reckon.

Arrow Anyone else agree? Why do you think this is? Confused:

Its like the assualt course on Krypton Factor - Health and Safety wouldn't allow most of that today without strong supervision and the apparatus being fully protected at least.

Its a shame when we have to resort to the dubbed Japanese show, Takeshi's Castle to see any un-aided assault-style challenges these days.

I think he suffered an illness somewhere along the line. Hence Ed Tudor Pole took over. Don't quote me on that as I'm not sure.

Maybe he realised the futility of it all, and bored of passing off go-karting away days as quiz show prizes.

Looks as though they might be getting rid of Big Game TV on Ftn for a while. Smile

Among channels affected by Virgin's review will be FTN, an entertainment channel on Freeview, which screens highlights of Virgin Media's Challenge, Trouble, Living and Bravo channels.

VERY unlikely. Virgin have just used Sky's decision of taking their channels off Freeview to back up their arguement on creating one dominant service. If anything, they'll take FTN off Sky, keep it on Freeview and load all their "must-watch" shows onto it. In theory it could happen. Increased advert costs could make up for the lost revenue in Sky subscriptions and Virgin could use the oppotunity to constantly advertise their other channels and Virgin Central.
