This was sooo good. Please bring back a full series!!! Just need harder games like the old days.

[@SanFran51]

And in 2017 They DID.

[@ch-p2861]

@@SanFran51 with easier games and too many celebs and p average hosting (just my opinion). It was nice to see it back but just a slight shame how it was executed.

[@leefisher6366]

Just seen the Portal 2 walkthrough (never played the game myself), and I now can't listen to this without thinking it's Wheatley. PS: Space. Space. Spaaaaaace!

[@JamesTheFox]

Portal 2's puzzles have a Crystal Maze feel about them most of the time.

[@rocon86]

I wish channel 4 would ditch the bake off and put the money towards the crystal maze. Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

[@Matt19matt19]

the money they paid for the bake off will be wasted because most of the presenters have left

[@Dim4323]

Or commission ofr a full series instead of Bake off

[@antster1983]

Ronan Connell The Crystal Maze is coming back to Channel 4! Proper set in Bristol and all! Oh, and Richard Ayoade as the new Maze Master.

[@rocon86]

Anthony Hobson Richard Ayobe would be great 👍

How you start a chant in a chat?

[@jadedragon3243]

The Stephan Merchant Crystal Mazes were the best Crystal Mazes.

[@dylanjames8886]

He was host for one episode...

[@seanharmon4005]

Is nobody gonna talk about the pat on the ass at 3:01?

[@t3nder-4pe]

He always does that to Josh.

[@lucypotter746]

He did that when he was on the last leg earlier this year

[@dmontes133]

What about it? I guess you’ve never played sports.

[@IrishKeshiHead]

You know, a fun idea that each zone should have it's own version of the clocks counting down, like futuristic with the digital clock style digits each time period influences the timer.

[@keelydobrowolsky3735]

One of my teachers told me about this! Anyway, well done to Josh! He was so quick with solving the sums whereas I would've taken forever.

[@staffordahoy679]

Ooh Adele's latest "albulm", I must buy it

[@t3nder-4pe]

Nice catch.

[@jamesroutley3452]

I came here for this.

[@Coolharry64]

I’d love to see the full episode.

[@SakuraKotoni]

Same, but seems like it may have become lost media? Can't find it anywhere!

[@philnewton-england7795]

I recorded this show onto my Hard drive when it was originally aired.

[@JohnSmith-ws7fq]

Gotta hand it to Puzzle Boy, he did pretty well. :)

[@philnewton-england7795]

Loving the picture of previous host- Ed Tudorpole at 0:03

[@chestnutbloke305]

I've ranked all 4 Crystal Maze Maze Masters in order of seriousness, starting with the least serious: * Stephen Merchant * Richard O'Brien * Ed Tudor-Pole * Richard Ayoade

[@philnewton-england7795]

Have you seen Adam Conover hosting the American Crystal Maze? Where would you place him ? 👍🏼💎

[@chestnutbloke305]

@@philnewton-england7795 I haven't seen any episodes, but I have seen some clips. I'd probably place him between Stephen Merchant and Richard O'Brien.

[@philnewton-england7795]

@@chestnutbloke305 awesome. I think Adam Conover is brilliant as Maze Master

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

Merchant was a great host, would have been nice to see him a lot more in the role of Maze-Master but obviously had more commitments on etc

[@ilck-ym-blals7385]

That and the fact this was a huge failure with the ratings

[@philnewton-england7795]

He would have been much better than Ayoade imo. This was actually a very successful episode - technically a pilot episode which the viewing figures garnered the 'new' series.

[@neilpayton]

This so good but I wish we had the full episode of this

[@thomasawl]

Portal 2: the gameshow

[@steved8714]

3 minutes once he's inside? Story of Josh's life.

[@stuartgibson6357]

I wished for this special to be better than the disgraceful Robot Wars revival. My wish was granted! :)

[@niharikamanjunath]

this looks good

[@juliesquire3552]

I have just watched this on demand and in my opinion they have changed the format quite a lot and what have they done 2 the future zone it now looks like something from a star trek / star wars movie people having there own door 2 come out of

[@antster1983]

This wasn't filmed at a specially-constructed set, this was filmed at The Crystal Maze Experience, the crowd-funded tourist attraction in Islington (a second and larger Maze is being built at the former Granada Television studios in Manchester, opening next April) the-crystal-maze.com/

[@peter4999]

I don't know why but the women furiously trying to get him to do it in order of colour was pissing me off. There was no need, just let him do it.

[@Dim4323]

Wish Merchent hosted a full run

[@victoriaparker2705]

Mr Merchant, how low can you go. Lol

[@neilpayton]

I swear they filmed this at the crystal maze experience or something judging the look

[@philnewton-england7795]

They certainly did.

[@neilpayton]

@@philnewton-england7795 that’s the unique thing because this was filmed in 2016

[@kateshelton8322]

Channel 4 can't spell Album?

[@user-yh6us2jk8t]

Why does this look like it was filmed at the crystal maze experience

[@philnewton-england7795]

Because it was - The original London location.

[@user-yh6us2jk8t]

@@philnewton-england7795 I know and that’s just cool

[@9_in_the_afternoon]

Is this like Jungle Run for adults? Love it, anyway

[@Dim4323]

This was before Jungle run

[@97channel]

Tori Lee - Jungle Run was a rip-off version of The Crystal Maze. There were different areas where they played games, one was set in the future, one in a castle, a sunken ship and a sandy ancient jungle. That was the one which Jungle Run based itself upon. Michael Underwood even appeared as a child on a kids' Christmas special, before he was famous. If you like this version of the Crystal Maze, go find the old version from the 90's, originally presented by the amazing Richard O'Brien, then later Ed Tudor-Pole who was a decent replacement. it's way better than this new version and the set was absolutely huge, the size of two football pitches.

[@eddie4735]

3:01 but slap

[@kobebeeftv7448]

I would love to see an American version of this game show.

[@lucypotter746]

They'd have to dumb it down a lot for that and it wouldn't be as good anymore

[@RonkleBonk]

Fuck off

[@abagar2000]

You got your wish, and it looks amazing

[@philnewton-england7795]

Yep…..Adam Conover is awesome as the American MazeMaster. 👍🏼💎

[@dmontes133]

No more British ripoffs! Plus, we have no good comedians in the U.S. This show won’t work, here, so don’t ruin it. Enjoy the British versions and quit asking fir them to be stolen, to be ripped off here.

[@Teag_Brohman15]

all I hear is Wheatley

[@Utautchi]

That’s because Stephen Merchant is the voice of Wheatley!

if someone knows where did they filmed the old seasons? is it true they destroyed the old studio please if you know answer

[@saaapooo7946]

thanks for your replay, so crazy to destroy this heaven

[@Suicide2788]

Shepperton Studios

[@philnewton-england7795]

Hi The first series was filmed at Shepperton Studios then the later 5 series all filmed at a North Weald aircraft hanger. New series is filmed in Bristol.

[@ShallowDepression]

Can someone please tell me, is this an actual TV Show, or just something for Red Nose Day? Because if it's a show... *baaaaaah*

[@EightThreeEight]

It was just a one-off for Stand Up To Cancer. However, this is actually effectively a promotion of an actual Crystal Maze which opened in London. the-crystal-maze.com/the-experience/

[@ShallowDepression]

Eight-Three-Eight They used to have one in Maidenhead, adjoined to the bowling alley there.

[@EightThreeEight]

ShallowDepression Yeah. There was another near Tenby in south Wales.
