My favourite show growing up alongside Gladiators and Knightmare!
It was amazing! Wonder how they always managed to find such STUPID contestants!
"Get the crystal, get the crystal!!!"
"Where is it?" :manson: :daf:

I used to love this. We used to recreate the money money grabbing bit by lobbing monopoly money around

the CRANE one in industrial zone!!!
ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!
I think it ran 1990-1994/5
Ed Tudor Pole was a WANKER. He came into my Morrisons once and asked for the girl behind the pie shop counter for some kind of pie. She asked him to wait cos she was serving someone else. He got angry and threw his keys, which hit her on the back.
But ANYWAY, I used to like the Ocean section...
I didn't like the Futuristic zone, there were far too many automatic lock-in's for my liking. The Medieval zone was cool though.

it used to scare me when Mumsie got mad when they snatched the crystal off her.
My favourite was Aztec too! The other zones were too dark and dingy :o

I loved Mumsie. I still don't get why they replaced her with Aunty Sabrina for a series, despite the fact it was the same actress.

Also I think Industrial Zone was underrated. They never should have replaced it in my eyes.

they always made the retards do mental challenges, and the fat old bitches do physical.

There was one puzzle where once it was finished, it obviously spelled Crystal downwards, showing you the correct drawer. But not one person who did that game noticed it, and just randomly opened all the drawers.

Then there was the guy who solved this jigsaw puzzle (which was the first part), and stood in front of some buttons for a minute in a half doing nothing, despite the fact his teammates shouted at him to push the L1 100 times. Richard was so pissed off afterwards, he went into the room and showed him how to do the second part.
To be fair to some of the contestants though, they weren't necessarily helped by their teammates. Often they'd all shout at the same time so you couldn't understand what they were saying. One teammate even said that there were only 10 seconds left when they had about 35.

RIGHT! 2 and a hlaf minutes from the very SECOND i close the door!
I was watching this on Challenge TV the other day! It's still as good. I always wanted to go on when they did the childrens versions :shy:
The Bald bloke was WELL better than his replacement. Which one of those is Ed Tudor Pole the angry wanker?
I liked the Ocean zone best.

I liked Aztec best too. I liked the sand and the water.
And the in between bits, when they travelled to the next zone, they looked really fun too!
