Ultimate Challenge

Fort Boyard Returns to the UK This year after leaving our screens in 2003. The Show was originally aired on Channel 5 (The New Big Brother broadcaster) until 2001. Challenge then picked up the series in 2003 but was axed in the same year. The Series returns later this year with a new cast and new name. The Series will be hosted by Laura Hamilton who was in Dancing On Ice, and Geno Segers. The Teams this time round will be Teenagers from 14-18. There will be 20 new episodes. Filming started yesterday and finishes on the 15th.

Format Thanks to Wiki
Fort Boyard is a French game show created by Jacques Antoine that was first broadcast in 1990 (as Les Clés de Fort Boyard, shortened for the second series in 1991) and is popular to this day. It has been re-made across the globe, most successfully in the following countries: United Kingdom, Sweden, Lebanon, Norway, Canada, Russia, Denmark, Belgium, Israel, The Netherlands, Greece, Armenia and most recently in Poland and Finland over a 20-year period since the show began in July 1990.
Set and filmed on the real Fort Boyard in France, the programme appears similar to The Crystal Maze (which was created by Antoine for Channel 4 in the United Kingdom after Fort Boyard itself was unavailable to film in because of its then ongoing refurbishment). In both programmes the contestants have to complete challenges to win prize money. However, while The Crystal Maze varies the type of games quite considerably, Fort Boyard tends to focus mainly on physical and endurance challenges. Although Fort Boyard was something of a pioneer in the area of game show fear and adventure, later programmes such as Fear Factor have pushed things even further, requiring Fort Boyard to react and adapt with new twists and games, including a couple of seasons in which the contestants spent the night in the Fort (this was particularly popular in the French version).

More details to be added.

I love Fort Boyard.

But I liked the difficulty involved in the adult one, not sure the teenager one will be AS difficult. But I'll definitely give it a watch!

I'd expect around a 4-5pm time slot on CITV. Or maybe they'd put it on ITV1 As part of a CITV Block during the afternoon? It would get more viewers then.

Childrens TV is far more PC nowadays I expect there would be a mixed cast of ablities (and races).
