Some things are best left in the past, this was never really that great tbh, maybe they will improve it, who knows?

Ed Tudor Pole was good, he just wasnt as good as Richard OBrien, he had too much to live up to unfortunately and got panned somewhat, unfairly if you ask me. If you go back and watch the re-runs on Challenge no one seems to have a biased towards him as much and it makes for good viewing 8-)

Not sure who I would have presenting mind, good point!

Your right, I think one of the things that killed it was the fact they got dummer and dummer teams in to keep the money so they would not give out what was always even at the time naff prizes tbh anyway. People including myself just got so pissed off with how thick they were far to often.
Hard games with average folk will do fine, not fairly easy puzzles and thick people from the land of stupid


GOING FOR GOLD
The heat is on, the time is right, blablablabla bla bla bla bla bla
were going for going for gold

Can anyone remember the game shows that were inspired by Crystal Maze? The one that comes to mind was called "Scavengers" or something. It was set on a space station and had two teams of people trying to salvage things off a space station. Featured more physical challenges though?

And what about the kids one...Sub-Zero or something. That had a group of kids that had to do something in some tower and there were chess type puzzles and allsorts?

Anf who can forget fun-house or mad-house...whatever it was that had Pat Sharp in it...

And yes the same Original referee John Anderson as past series is back - god hes old now
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7342000/7342749.stm

ATLAS - Sam Bond, 24, Bournemouth - "As strong as He-Man, fights hard and with dignity".

BATTLEAXE - Shirley Webb, 26, Edinburgh - "A weapon of war, domineering, aggressive and indomitable. Battleaxe is a warrior queen".

DESTROYER - Damar Martin, 38, Croydon - "Determined and strong, angry and unstoppable - nothing gets in his way".

ENIGMA - Jenny Pacey, 25, Borehamwood - "Mysterious and beautiful, contradictory and unpredictable, impossible to capture".

ICE - Caroline Pearce, 27, Cambridge - "Cold, steely, frosty and beautiful".

INFERNO - Jemma Palmer, 24, Tamworth - "Hot, fiery, dangerous and destructive".

OBLIVION - Nicholas Aldis, 21, Norwich - "Leaves nothing in his path - extinguishes his opposition".

PANTHER - Kara Nwidobie, 26, Morecambe - "Beautiful, sleek, aggressive and powerful. Panther is the strongest and fiercest of the wild cats".

PREDATOR - Duaine Ledejo, 36, Newark - "Volatile, quick and poisonous, hunts down prey and takes no prisoners."

SPARTAN - Roderick Bradley, 24, Grantham- "Handsome, disciplined and brave. Will take on any army - the perfect warrior".

TEMPEST - Lucy Boggis, 19, Quintin, Wiltshire - "Naturally beautiful, a force of nature bringing furious agitation and commotion".

TORNADO - David McIntosh, 22, Altrincham - "Violently destructive windstorm full of unstoppable energy - leaves you in a spin".

Ian Wright and Kirsty Gallacher will preside over the contest with 32 contenders, whittled down from 20,000 applicants, who will battle the gladiators in classic events such as Duel, Powerball, Hang Tough and, of course, The Eliminator in a bid to try and win the £50,000 prize.

Sources - various on the net

Some will look familure as some are some ex Team GB and actually winning ones at that.

Lucy Boggis  is only 19! and a Gladiator..

19!!!! I mean bite lip time can not wait to see those babies running around!

 Duaine Ledejo though, lol. The thing is this time around you look at those names and they are not just show characters (I hope they do not over play their roles this time around) yes past gladiators were strong and fit but come from places like owning their own gym etc. This was nice and all as unknowns got chance for the big time but this time around if your a sports fan, more over Athletics most of those names you know or have heard before and you know these people are or have been real Sports Athletes and even with real credentials and medals so as an average joe entering this show it is really going to be a tough affair

its all a farce fella, the skinny guy with long hair who won one of the series as a contender... I know someone who beat him in the trials, along with quite a few others, but this person looks like your typical thug football hooligan.. missing teeth, skinhead (mostly cos hes going bald) & a fair few tatts.. he was told that he wasnt suitable for family slot TV!  :rofl:
