Amanda Holden set to ruin The Crystal Maze
 
Quote:

Cult gameshow The Crystal Maze is to be revived by ITV, a report has claimed.

The new show will have a similar format to the '90s classic but feature Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden as host, according to The Sun.

It is also thought that celebrity contestants will tackle the difficult puzzles and physical challenges rather than members of the public.

A source said: "ITV are huge fans of Amanda and are looking at a number of different gameshow concepts, but this is certainly the one they are excited about. They are spending a lot of money and hope it will surpass - and blow away - the old Crystal Maze."

The original version of The Crystal Maze ran on Channel 4 from 1990 to 1995. Richard O'Brien was the programme's first presenter, while Ed Tudor-Pole fronted the later series.

I love the show, and Amanda is alright but seriously what were they thinking?!

I love Crystal Maze but it sounds like ITV are just gonna sh*t on it from a great height.

Arneldo 04-01-2010 03:50 PM

This is exactly what I thought when I read it. It's the simplicity of those old shows that made them what they are. Introducing huge stage/lighting/sound and visuals is what makes it essentially a new gameshow, and ruins the legacy of what was! :blush:

There will always be the old Glad and the old CM. If people want to see them they can watch Challenge like I do all day and enjoy :D

But I'm too busy watching Top Gear and Dragons Den reruns on Dave! :bawling:

Patrick 04-01-2010 06:24 PM

ITV **** Off!

Amanda is such an irratating bitch tbh, I hate her and everything to do with BGT.

I use to love Crystal Maze, the guy with the bald head was a legend, Amanda will fail.

Nicky. 04-01-2010 06:26 PM

I larvvvvvvvv the Crystal Maze! I have videos of it, and I have the board game!

I don't care who hosts it, I just love the challenges! Xx

Jackie 05-01-2010 02:53 PM

I used to love the show Richard o brian was the best presenter for the show.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This is like my favourite TV show ever, get the **** out!

I wrote to Richard O'Brien when I was a kid asking if they could do a kids version of the show :D he wrote back and said that the show was coming to an end soon and something like that...probably wasn't even him but still, icon. :)

arista 06-01-2010 02:39 PM

It will be a change
but the Format is Clever.

do you think we will have the four orginal zones
industrial
medevil
future
and that other one

eye sea 12-01-2010 08:52 AM

I doubt whether she could ruin that show. From memory it was rather a tedious outing, cheaply made and very camp.

I used to hate Amanda but I found her quite hot in her Circus outfit!

Outside Britain's Got Talent she is not the annoying bint she exhibits on that show.

Aztec was the other zone.

I used to love it when i was a kid and it was shown originally. Even now i still sometimes watch the reruns on Challenge if they are on. Classic gameshow but i'm not sure if Amanda suits the show and if it will still work in the modern era.

I think its one of them things that should just be left in the 90s. In theory it should be really good to come back, but it won't be the same because TV has moved on so much. I liked the Gladiators remake but it was nothing like the original, I looked at it like a different show. It wasn't the same to me because they turned it into a massive glossy production rather than just a giant assault course which it was.

I like Amanda (sometimes) but she isn't right for the show. It would be like having Kerry Katona presenting News at Ten.

James 14-01-2010 07:29 PM

I was a big fan of the Richard O'Brien years. :) It was a close-cousin of Treasure Hunt and Interceptor which were good also.

Harry! 14-01-2010 07:54 PM
