Why has the old thread been closed down?? Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes Mad


A relaunch is usually when a thread is closed and a new one is opened, so there isn't one big generic thread. It'd be like having a 'The Official Big Brother Thread', encompassing every series since 2003.

Can't understand why they'd start at episode 2 of Pointless? Was the first considered too slow (there were far too many references to the basic premise of the game in this edition for my liking!)? Was there a legal issue?

I was very disappointed they didn't show episode 1. I was in a shot of the audience, clapping like a fool.

That would have probably been edited out, not a reflection on appearance just how Challenge like to roll.

They don't really show audience shots on Pointless now, not from the front?

If you'd been more alert and made the first post about the Challenge relaunch you'd still own the thread, so don't go winging at others for your own failings.

But pointless would need no edits, as its only 45mins long and would allow for 15mins worth of ads Confused

No, I wasn't trying to aggravate anyone, merely just asking why the other thread had been closed down without any explanation? As it has been very popular this year. There is no need to have a go at me - probably the reason I did not mention the relaunch is because a) I am not an insider with insider knowledge and b) I had to go to work today so didn't catch the relaunch earlier.

So there is no call for this to be fair. Rolling Eyes

Yes, that did cross my mind and I hoped no one would pick up on it. Laughing

Might be the odd trimming here and there I'd imagine though.

Fair enough, but it didn't sound like one Shocked . Anyway, I'm still disappointed.

Anyway....back to the discussion of Challenge TV!!! :-

The Challenge website about The Crystal Maze states:- "Once inside the zone, the team is confronted by six chambers each containing a game with its own specific time period- 1'00, 1'30, 2'00, 2'30 or 3'00."

This is incorrect as there were never any games lasting just 1min or 1min30! So unsure where this came from...

Maybe there are some other bloopers on the website? Very Happy

On the Shows menu, Family Fortunes uses the logo for the current version, instead of one of the Les Dennis versions. They've never shown the Vernon Kay version, so it's logo isn't the right one to use. And In It To Win It 's page shows the words "National Lottery" on the titlecard - I've not seen this show on Challenge yet, but Winning Lines (which isn't mentioned on the Shows section at all) omits all lottery references, so should In It To Win It .

Shall I point out that the Takeshi's Castle logo is nothing like the actual logo and has been mocked up and is using the Sky font?
