I like how they're still referring to CITV as CiTV - surely that lowercase letter should be history by now!?

Did anyone catch New Year's Day edition of Fort Boyard?? I was still in bed! I'll watch it at 5.00pm repeated tonight though. If so, was it any good?

Looks good!! Shame they haven't kept the original theme tune, I thought they may have edited it in for the UK transmission but alas not - hope it makes a comeback as an adult show!!

On first impression, I prefer the C5/Challenge Fort Boyard's. It felt rushed at 30 minutes, and I didn't like the 'afterwards reaction' soundbites from the contestants.

But I suppose it's not being made for nostalgic viewers

Not a bad effort at all. I agree we don't need the instant review of what the contestants did but the annoying American wasn't anywhere near as annoying as I thought he might be and it runs along at a nice pace. I thought the time penalties for the Treasure Chamber should have been a bit more significant, but overall not too bad at all.

How many shows does it run for - it would be 15 + a final if all teams compete against each other.
