Celebrity Crystal Maze

Used to love this back in the day.

I'm hoping it's not too professional and polished!

I've liked Richard Ayoade when I've seen his travel programmes so hopefully he does ok.

Although I've just read Stephen Merchant has hosted it too. When did that happen (and totally pass me by)?!

Stephen Merchant just did one charity special last year, filmed at a "Crystal Maze experience" facility - that inspired this full revival series for which they built a proper set.

The "celebrities" are pretty Z-list and it will be better with the muppetous members of the public as we had in the early 90s (probably without the big glasses and perms!) Hope it does justice to the original anyway, game show revivals so often fail in trying to bring them up to date and lose what made them special originally.

Louis Spence ultra-annoying already...

Why does Richard have Jaime Lannister's gold hand attached to an umbrella handle?

I like the new Future zone, guess the 1990 version wouldn't look very futuristic now

BBC had a write up on the set designs earlier in the week:
