Merchant is doing a decent enough job.
He's doing alright, little too happy though
Indeed he did.Richard had to make an appearance.
I liked the theme tune.
I liked that bit.He's not available.
Ha.
Merchant trying a little too hard to emulate the great bald one, but otherwise the format still works. Celebrities or not, put a lateral thinking puzzle up and watch everyone crumble.
I remember that puzzle battery puzzle. I could solve it in my sleep. I feel old now.
Nice nod alright. It's low budget because it's set in the Crystal Maze experience in London.
Nice little Ed Tudor Pole portrait. Shame about the low roof/lower budget - hopefully this proceeds a full series with an original-sized maze.

They're filming it at the crystal maze experience in london so they're stuck with the roofs that are there, there's another bigger crystal maze thing being built in Manchester opening next year and one of the promo images says "crystal maze studios" so i suspect that its being built with filming in mind
The version there is more complicated than the original, those wall-mounted units are unique to the Experience version.I remember that puzzle battery puzzle. I could solve it in my sleep. I feel old now.

I copped on to the extra bit quickly. I need to go to London and try it out.

Too much of a riddle for me, i'd have been stuck with mumsie and her white lightning.

Diamond White for me. See you in the park,
I understood that reference.Too much of a riddle for me, i'd have been stuck with mumsie and her white lightning.
I know it's for charity and all but couldn't they have made it a tiny bit more challenging?
(or was it more difficult when watching on the telly cos I was a kid?)
For charity + dumb cunt celebs. It is what it is.

Future Zone looks like a set from alien but with a lick of fresh paint, wheres the stalking xenomorph? Spice it up a bit.
That's the original Mumsy yes?
Nope. Original was Sandra Caron. That was Maureen Lipman.

I don't think rio remembers josh's name.
Loved the show and we'll watch this for sure, will have to be on catchup.
Was there ever a rule that stopped people picking the tokens off the floor? They always seemed so inefficient flailing around trying to catch them from the air lol.
It's defo banned in the CM experience - read an interview about it earlier. No silver either.

Did Merchant really say: "Look at him. Like Sam Allardyce grabbing at fivers."
You got your adjectives the wrong way around so I fixed it for you.Perfect. Merchant is Bellend.
No need for thanks.

I just looked this up on YouTube and it is brilliant.
I can see Tennant doing this very well.

He certainly did.
That was excellent, and I would not be opposed to a full series hosted by Stephen Merchant.

It just aired and he wasn't doing it. Instead we got Stephen Merchant as host.

Merchant was brilliant though, you look a bit stupid now - tool.
Feel free to rearrange.

Same here. Make it happen channel 4!
There's a very persistent rumour that the second branch of the CM experience that is coming to Manchester will also, if this does well, be designed with TV filming in mind to be pressed into service should they wish to make a series.This makes me really miss the show. I hope challenge TV run the old episodes again.

I enjoyed that a lot. Merchant was pretty good, although trying a little too hard to emulate O'brien. I'd watch this if it came back, and my six year old daughter would probably enjoy it too.
