One of the channels over here in Aussieland is airing The Crystal Maze at the moment (the one with Richard Ayoade hosting) and naturally, I started watching.
That prompted me to look back at the older series - I absolutely LOVE it. Richard O'Brien is a hoot . Some of the contestant attempts - hoo boy.
That's not the only one I've watched - I've found a few others which are done so damn well (The Chase I've commented on before) that if they weren't already re-done in Australia, I'm wondering why they haven't been done in Australia (I can see The Crystal Maze popping up in Australia - Micallef would make an excellent host^)
Anyone else found a fondness for these?
^ - comedian and best known for hosting "Talkin 'Bout your Generation" (panel show of sorts) but has also hosted other shows. He has a good mix of O'Brien's wit and snark with Ayoade's intensity.
