Last week (15th April 2018), saw the return of the second half of Series 1 of the Maze. We saw the Hauxwell's take on TCM, and unfortunately for them they set two rather embarrassing record Crystal Maze firsts in the history of the show. Record #1 One Contestant actually managed to get locked in twice on the same episode. Record #2 The team failed miserably and collected ZERO CRYSTALS! This is a scenario that never played out before in the original series - the least amount of Crystals being 5 seconds at the Dome. In the Original, they would simply collect tokens for 5 seconds; the underscore and fans ending rather abruptly. Interestingly with the Zero Crystal Scenario, Ayoade presented a secondary Start/Stop Whistle and blew both simultaneously! The fans whimpered and stopped immediately. How embarrassing, but such a funny episode. I am glad that conventions are being broken down, and we are finally getting answers to new maze scenarios we always wondered about in the original series. This episode was spoken about on Radio 1 the next day, and the incident trended on Twitter that evening!
