They announced this a week or so ago. It'll consist mainly of stuff they didn't use for the UK version, but it'll be nice to see Challenge give it the attention it deserves once again. Here's hoping they get Craig Charles back.

It was actually announced back in December.

If I could ask General Lee anything, it would be "What is Craig Charles really like?"

March 8th launch date

Dick and Dom, will be your commentary team for this.

Hmmmm. If they leave them to work their magic, it could be good. If they hand them a script, it'll end up as bland as 'Are you smarter...'.

Just seen that it's set to go out at 10pm. Surely a poor choice given its popularity with children?

I'd be shocked if it didn't get a 5pm slot as well.

Just a heads up, this starts tonight at 10pm.

Naturally you'll be able to chat about it with likeminded individuals on http://chat.**

In fact we have a friend of mine lined up to join us who appeared on an international version of the show on a trip to Japan in the 1980s, who will give us some insight.

To wet your appetite.
