Urgh. Why does everything have to have celebrities in these days?

Agreed, so annoying! Much preferred Family Fortunes until they made it celebrity only. Half of them I have never heard of!

and now I have the theme tune stuck in my head as I run around checking all the teacher pcs are working properly

Without Z-list celebs nobody would watch ITV programmes.

Don't worry, if you have an automatic lock-in, we will use a crystal to get you out... possibly.

David Tennant to host it? So there'll be no Richard O'Brien playing the harmonica whilst the celebrity gets locked in

Na, he will probably be playing Riff-Raff singing Timewarp...

Richard O'Brien was brilliant, wish Tennant all the best filling those shoes.

Fortunately for Tennant he doesn't have to beat the wonderful Richard, he only has to do better than the not so good Ed Tudor-Pole who replaced O'brien for the final two series.

 

This could be fun, it's long overdue a return to the screen, and here's hoping that the commission a full series once they see how popular the celebrity edition is.

Hmm I read that the Tennant reports were wrong

from https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/aug/31/the-crystal-maze-tv-channel-4-david-tennant

Reports have suggested former Doctor Who star David Tennant will host the show, but it is understood that this is not the case.

Off topic: Hello! Another regeneration! What happened this time? Bumped head on the Tardis console?

Body was wearing a bit thin...That or the September rush, take your pick.

 

Shame about Tennant not hosting it, but Merchant may be up to the challenge as well.

Read this earlier.

 

They've got the original Maze designer to make a new 30,000 sq ft maze for the show too

 

So when do we send an application in for an Edugeek team?

The Crystal Maze's new presenter Richard Ayoade will have plenty of comedy company when the series reboot hits Channel 4 later this month.

 

Comedians and actors Jessica Hynes and Adam Buxton will both make cameos as part of The Crystal Maze's "fiendish" new challenges.

 

Buxton sets up shop in the Futuristic Zone as disembodied head Jarhead. It's his job to set a contestant a series of riddles. If they answer them correctly, they win a crystal.

 

Hynes meanwhile will guard another of the Maze's game zones, Medieval Zone, complete in period appropriate suit of armour.
