David Tennant is said to be the presenter for the one-off episode which will feature a team of celebrities. It is in relation to Channel 4's 'Stand up to Cancer' fundraising event and the announcement comes 14 months after the plans for a "live immersive experience" in London was revealed which started earlier this year.

Even reviving some of the old games too! Remember that square into a rectangle one because nobody seemed to be able to do it.

Only thing i don't like is the music for theme and the zone changing one... Wish they kept the 90's one.

I think its a shame how the captain no longer gets to choose what type of game is played although, with this being a one off, they haven't added that many games so they need to do something to stop them from choosing a physical or whatever so much.

Yeah that was where it was filmed. I think if they were to make a proper series, they would need to make a proper set.

Also, for anyone interested, Challenge have obtained the rights to show the original series again with series 1 starting om October 31st at 6pm.

Planet Earth 2 was amazing.

Can't wait for next weeks episode.


RE: General TV thread - Michael - 10 Nov 2016

DIY SOS is on tonight on BBC 1, this time it's at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Amazing place, amazing staff, can see it being a sad episode though.


RE: General TV thread - Michael - 18 Nov 2016

Anyone watch "The Grand Tour" yet?

It was good, blew the BBC's out of the water.... only part i would criticise was the news, it was too scripted and they tried to cramp to much in for the first episode, hopefully episode 2 is set out better.

Ughhh, i hate how parents can be so oblivious to who's around them.... same on Facebook, sick of seeing family pictures of children with no clothes on, sick of telling them not to, as you have no idea who's stalking, watching you etc......

Who's the BBC going to replace him with when he decides to retire or die?, i can't think of no one, who'll be as good as David narrating Nature programs!

The Crystal Maze is coming back for a full series, with comedian Richard Ayoade taking up the role of Maze Master.

Channel 4 has commissioned 20 new episodes of the adventure gameshow, including some celebrity specials for Stand Up to Cancer.

Physical, mental, skill and mystery challenges will all return and participants will gather crystals to give them time in the Crystal Dome at the end.

The original Crystal Maze designer, James Dillon, will mastermind the new purpose-built maze in Bristol.

Just stumbled across this page and this tweet. 
One of the things I enjoyed about the Fast Show, was its love of NE filming locations. No idea why they used up here. But here's one!
