Original Aztec Camera Plan from The Crystal Maze!

This month I was able to acquire an original 90's camera set plan of an Aztec Cell from The Crystal Maze. This was an extremely unique find and I am excited to add it to my collection. The plan was stapled to the back of the set, hence the staple holes. An electrician found it who was working on the show and it was him who kindly sold me it. It has been well looked after for the past 25 years. The game is titled "The Catwalk", and looking at the plan of the cell and the corresponding camera angles, it appears this is from the rickety bridge game 'Feed the Gods', as featured in Aztec Series 2 Ep 1. Richard O'Brien even makes a passing reference of walking like a cat, whilst the game is in play with contestant Erica. The plan even features James's Dillon's name, (Set designer). There is a request for him to put a window in the cell door. The location of the crystal, camera cranes and mini cams also feature. This is another incredible piece of Crystal Maze TV History which I am going to treasure.
