I got the chance to take part in the crystal maze experience in London! I won one of my games and we beat the crystal maze! And most importantly, I finally got my hand on a crystal!!!

Lights out literally would have been my nightmare game! I got a handheld game similar to it and I am not sure I ever completed it lol

I don’t remember this but it definitely sounds interesting

Along with The Real Hustle, this was a pretty good show at showing what clever social programming can be done to very criminal effect. I liked it and, so thanks for reminding me of it. I

Would you consider doing a mini documentary about "The Real Hustle" that aired on the BBC during the mid to late 2000's?

I’m with you on ff8. So many people hate on it but it’s great! I personally would drop ff7 and sub in Zelda OOT

I don’t know how I missed this one. Channel 4 didn’t half make some memorable programmes in the early 2000s and this would have caught my attention for sure. Great documentary, as ever.

I've never heard of this show, but it looks very interesting. Clearly this was Channel 4's attempt at cashing in on the "glamour" of organised crime that BBC1 were perpetrating with Hustle, which was a great show. BTW, would you consider doing a video on Wanted? It was also on Channel 4 and was a precurser to Hunted that we have now, teams of trackers hunting down contestants each week during a live show where they call from a Phone Box into the studio. Limited by technology contraints, and very different between series 1 and 2 but it was a great show not enough people knew about

Doesn’t seem like my kind of thing but an interesting video regardless. Weird too because this era of tv seems like it was yesterday. Not in that wistful nostalgic way, but in a “oh God what do you mean a decade ago?” way.

MrBeast’s internal document for employees just leaked and it’s well worth a read for KZbinrs like yourself. I’d love to see this channel grow

These nostalgia trips have been great. This sounds like something I would have watched tat the time and I probably did, I'm just struggling to actually have memories of it.

Special forensic software? I suppose the name of the software is apt...... audacity.

Any links to the original shows?

Very good so I subscribed and thumbs up

This was peak Channel 4 programming. Beautiful. Thanks for the revisit.

Not gonna lie I thought this was something to do with Derren Brown to start with lol Though man It's a shame I missed this as this would have been something I would have totally would have loved had I seen it when it was aired

I remember this show.. was brilliant.. didn't they steal a tvr

This was a very intruiging show back in the mid 2000s, and after rewatching it, I just had to make a video about it! I hope you all enjoy, and if you are enjoying the kind of content I'm putting out, a little subscribe would go a long way :) Thanks everyone!

MarcoNegrisEye. I hope you get to read this. This is a difficult world to live in. I love the escapism of programmes like Knightmare and I still watch videos of it on here. I miss my childhood and would be happy to go back to the 80s and live there like the guy in Ready Player One. That's a great film. It's telling us that we only have reality. We can't go back. We have to keep going. We have the here and now. We might fear the future but we can change things and make the future better. Children today are growing up with technology. We have invented most useful gadgets already but landlines have changed into mobiles and we are bombarded with Internet info and cyber bullying, which we didn't grow up with. Don't give up. There is always hope. Knightmare was made possible by advancement in technology. We need to keep the 70s and 80s memories alive. By the way, I think Richey is alive. Take care.

growing up in north england as a kid watching this in the morning and anime was BLIZZZ. Britain failed to make total whip out gold like this was. they always make this too personal and serious.

I loved watching this as a kid on german television in the early 2000s. The german commentary was also really good.

Really enjoyed this, thanks, must have been a lot of work to dig out so many variants of some of the games. I feel like I've spent weeks/months of my life watching Takeshi's Castle on Challenge (with Craig's wonderful commentary obviously - episodes without him are just nowhere near as good). But despite that, I was surprised by quite how many of these I'd not seen. Incidentally, that 'single rolling roller' game has to the single hardest game in TC, it basically looked impossible and I don't think I ever saw anyone get even close to completing it!

I agree with FF8

R.I.P John Anderson... best referee there was. He didn't take no Bullshit from Wolf.

One thing that would have been amusing to see but I don't think ever happened was a contestant getting locked-in on the Mumsy/Auntie Sabrina game.

Lol great video 😊

For me it’s Avalanche, really comical when the contestants got sent tumbling down the hill after getting hit by the boulders. In one episode they sent 7 to 8 boulders down the hill all piled up, made laugh so much with along with Craig’s commentary as usual.

Blind folded square maze, Sumo Rings in general were the most unique game in takeshi's castle history Where even the guards were clueless. Unpopular opinion: Best version of Honey comb maze was the ones where there was a child(in parents-kids version)/general lee guiding up the contestents.

As much as I loved goldeneye I thought perfect dark was better

Great video. Didnt see loads of these games.

I feel that the smaller set detracts from the reboot and richard Ayoade is ok but not a patch on Richard obrian or ed tuder pole.

If you could play 3 Games from the Show which would they be.

Super Mario Bros 3 is my favorite video game of all time and is the best platform and old school game. There was nothing like it when it came out. It set the bar so high and set the standard for how a video game should be made.

What a lovely video! Thanks. That mod Tornado did to keep them away from Razor was terribly bad form!

Great retrospective. I'd forgotten how much they developed their own fictional world with people and places

Ninja warrior next

This show was genius.

Tekken 3 is the best fighting game ever created Street fighter 2 is nothing compared to it

It isn't Christmas till Hans falls off that tower.

Housewives favourite General Lee looking well.

I loved Creig Charles narration on this it still reruns on challenge

Craig Charles just making stuff up when he wasn't sure justmade this show extra great. Also as a teen when it aired; some of those innuendo game names just made me laugh before the contestants even appeared lol And of course the ultimate shin shredder had to be up there

Impossible to state the love I have for this show and its importance in my desire for perpetual youth. Great documentary and magnificent programme. Thank you
