New Additions For My Personal Collection - Publicity Photos
I recently had a stumble through eBay and happened across some more TCM paraphernalia I couldn't turn down to add to my collection. I got a set of three Channel 4 publicity stills from the 90s series, one from S3, one from S4 and one from S5 or 6. I've got my eye on some more stuff but for now I need some frames for these.

The 30th Anniversary Celebration Ends With A Big Surprise From Richard O'Brien
There was videos, there was anecdotes, there was memories and a quick happy birthday for Red Dwarf too.
But most importantly, and I mean MOST importantly, there was this...

What better way to end our 30th Anniversary celebrations than with a very special message from RICHARD O'BRIEN himself!!

The Crystal Maze - 30th Anniversary Toast Post
30 years ago today on February 15th 1990, Sinead O'Connor was depressing everyone at #1, the UK was still 1 month away from the greatest movie ever committed to film in "Weekend at Bernie's" and Channel 4 broadcast the first episode of what would become a rather successful adventure game show. We just wanted to share some enthusiasm around the show and we also asked some fans to share their opinions of the show in a toast to The Crystal Maze's 30th anniversary (Note: Two days after we started putting this together, TCM's official Twitter account started asking for similar comments, so some may be via them):
I love the show because it was way ahead of its time. It was a very modern thing to watch back in the 90s, nothing we had ever seen before. It brought us escapism, adventure and fantasy. It brought us memorable moments. It made us all want to enter the Maze ourselves. This became a lifelong dream of mine. I was lucky to enter the maze twice by working on the new series. I've collected tonnes of items from the show, including timers from two of the original zones, Crystal's, tokens, books, jacket and more. I am so happy to see the Maze still going strong 30 years on. Maze Master Edward Tudor-Pole was just as good as Richard O'Brien. I loved Ocean Zone. - Neil Robinson

I like it because of the set designs, the inspiration it gives me for my many projects...and I like shouting at the screen at the players who cant figure out where the Button for U3 on the wall (I'm looking at YOU Mr. Richard Colburn!)— J.D. Sadler (@TheFinalDoctor) February 11, 2020

Didn’t do that well 🤷🏻♂️
Got injured thanks to Ed Tudor-Pole 😩
Met five great people. Had three great days 26 years ago!! 😳 pic.twitter.com/9KbbLau1sh
what would you like me to say, it is my favorite UK Game Show, and it's something I would probably spend the most time on GSIS talking about, and saving it for a good guest!— Jordan Hass (@jordha) February 11, 2020
It’s an epic adventure in sixty minutes culminating in a “Will they? Won’t they?” reveal.
What’s not to love? I’ll watch it until the day I die.— Rob James (@FrasyBaby) February 12, 2020
I loved this show in the 90s! The #CrystalMaze deserved a reboot and it especially deserves to be screened in America (what took so long?) https://t.co/LGtDMGA34q— Atish Patel - WTSP (@ATISH_WTSP) February 10, 2020
Loved the show from the very start - channel hopping & seeing this crazy bald guy locking someone up inside a medieval castle. There was nothing on tv like it....plus the fact that the zones were all genuine sets & not green screen absolutely amazed me. 🚀⚙️⚱️⚔️— Phil Newton-England (@PhilNew98167545) February 13, 2020

I feel like to get the best TV escapism and fantasy nowadays, you have to pay for it via Tom, Dick or Harry's streaming service. The Crystal Maze is free to air, and for that I will always be grateful 💎❤— Alison G (@AlisonGurney) February 13, 2020

If there is one thing we can all agree on about what makes @TheCrystalMaze special other than the set designs and Games...It's the FAILS (Clip Source: https://t.co/0Ivu34VFqN)! pic.twitter.com/n93N8vKNSC
L💎VE the show so much, I walked down the aisle to the theme tune 💙 pic.twitter.com/JocHgRZ4tz— Phil Newton-England (@PhilNew98167545) February 14, 2020

98% Sure There's More Crystal Maze Coming This Year - Bunim/Murray Post a Casting Call
It looks like there's going to be more TCM getting made for viewers on both sides of the Atlantic. Bunim/Murray have posted a new casting call for more families to take part in the US version. As seen on the site, filming will again take place in the UK (safe to presume Bristol's Bottleyard Studios) and participants must have a valid passport by July 3rd 2020.
Another hint as to what's to come came in the form of a tweet from @mockrockuk

Ed Tudor Pole Appearing at Whitby Steampunk Weekend This Weekend (8th - 9th Feb)
Mazemaster #2 Ed Tudor Pole will be appearing at Whitby Steampunk Weekend this weekend. On Saturday, Ten Pole Tudor will be performing along with Alice's Night Circus and Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers (best band name ever) at the Whitby Pavilion.
And then on Sunday the 9th, ETP will be talking about his life and career as well as answering questions in a Q&A.Now I wouldn't expect too much talk on TCM but for me, it was the show that got me into his music. Plus with 'Swords of a Thousand Men' gaining some popularity as the soundtrack to Haven's current ad campaign, there'll be some new listeners discovering Tenpole Tudor's work. By the way, if you've never seen Aardman's "The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists!" I strongly suggest you change that.
As mentioned on the poster, outside of music he's appeared in Kull the Conqueror with Kevin Sorbo of Hercules fame and Tia Carrera from Wayne's World, Game of Thrones, played Riff Raff on stage in The Rocky Horror Show and was in scenes cut from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
