I hate remakes of previous shows which seen to be the modern trend at the moment (Stars in their Eyes, Celebrity Squares and Catchphrase to name but a few) as they just arent as good as the original.
I'm taking about Challenge a few years back before it was bought by Sky, back then it was wall to wall repeats of Gladiators, Ninja Warrior, Takeshi's Castle and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. Sadly Millionaire is often still repeated to death although since Sky bought it there has been some different random old stuff on there.
Hated the Sky remake of Gladiators and all these other remakes including the ones mentioned in your post were terrible too.
