Two questions

1 - How many of you grew up with this?

2 - Who's going to do the live one in London? :)

:D
I didn't grow up with it (before my time) but I love the Crystal Maze, such a retro and nostalgic feeling it gives me everytime when I watch it. Me and my family would spend every night watching it on Challenge when I was younger and it will always be a classic in my eyes.
There's also a live show in London as well? dammit why must I be a Northerner because I would love to go :P

The main theme though, absolutely awesome!

Here's the story for the live one. Opens on March 15th and as far as I know will run until September - tickets are £50 per person.

I had never heard of this before now, but from what I looked up, I'm amazed that reruns were never aired over in the States. Though it kinda reminded me of "Legends of the Hidden Temple", only more awesome!

You guys across the pond get all the cool stuff. :p

I grew up with The Crystal Maze and used to love it. It was never quite as good though after Richard O'Brien left and Ed Tudor Pole took over. I used to always be mentally willing the contestants to fall of that rotating log puzzle into the water in the Aztec Zone. Surely I wasn't the only one...?

On the subject of nostalgia TV, does anyone remember Knightmare? Because I was actually on it.

Really!? I absolutely loved Knightmare. Which series were you on?

The last two episodes of the third series. I was able to find myself on YouTube earlier in the year (which is kind of bonkers really).

Never heard of it (for obvious reasons), but damn that looks cool
All we had here at that time that came close to that were the Jeux Sans Frontières, in which Portuguese teams participated and won a lot. I miss that kind of TV game shows.
