ITV to bring back The Crystal Maze

Recommended Posts

Cult gameshow The Crystal Maze is to be revived by ITV, a report has claimed.

The new show will have a similar format to the '90s classic but feature Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden as host, according to The Sun.

It is also thought that celebrity contestants will tackle the difficult puzzles and physical challenges rather than members of the public.

A source said: "ITV are huge fans of Amanda and are looking at a number of different gameshow concepts, but this is certainly the one they are excited about. They are spending a lot of money and hope it will surpass - and blow away - the old Crystal Maze."

The original version of The Crystal Maze ran on Channel 4 from 1990 to 1995. Richard O'Brien was the programme's first presenter, while Ed Tudor-Pole fronted the later series.

I really hope they change their minds if they're going to bring it back with Amanda Holden. I think the underlined comment from an ITV source says it all though... It'll probably have Piers Morgan on there somewhere too.

It's all because of me and my imagination, blatantly.. It was only last weekend when I was watching re-runs on Challenge with the new guy (not the bald guy) (I'm terrible with names of presenters :/) that I thought I definitely preferred the bald guy.. Then I thought it'd be brilliant if they made it again as the Challenge ones are getting very dated (contestant wise). And here we are, BAM!

However, I don't think it'll work as well with Amanda Holden nor Celebrities. And it will no doubt be more 'Celebrities' than Celebrities.

Yeah I agree, Amanda Holden will be a rubbish presenter and make me not want to watch it.

I told my mum.. She was like zomg, up to and including the "Though instead of random people it's z-list celebs". Then I was like "Hosted by......... Amanda Holden" You could SEE the sigh.

If the show doesn't have Richard O'brien, it doesn't deserve to be a show.

:yeahthat:

if it's on ITV it will be wank, they ruined the Krypton Factor when they brought it back with that prick from GMTV (think thats where he is from) anything ITV do it crap.

Yup, pretty much my exact words. I definitely used the word 'wank'.

yay

But I will slit my throat if it's done by Amanda Holden.

Had to ask the boyf who the f*ck Amanda Holden was when I read this news. Won't perhaps go as far as committing Hari Kari, but once I found out who she was I was immensely disappointed.

Shall not be watching.

Meh...

Ed Tudor-pole always looked more like he was auditioning for Doctor Who or something.

So true!

Needs to be another bald guy,

Yeah...
maybe Ross Kemp.

No. Just no. There's a limit to ruggedness.

Surely they'd have to redesign the whole thing, Amanda won't want to do all the climbing and weaving and the lark, she's the typical 30% botox, 30% make up, 30% girly-girl, 7% walrus, 3% rugged kind of TV presenter.
