The Crystal Maze 2: Electric Boogaloo

And so it's out in the world, new series, new games and Ayoade's got new suits. 

General opinion on Twitter seemed positive, there was a swarm of millennial's praising Alfie's every breath, as well as people warming to Big Narstie's enthusiasm and his lack of filter "All I could hear was bleeping." 

I really enjoyed the vast majority of the games, only one I took issue with was Alfie's first Aztec game being a virtual carbon copy of a 90's medieval game just with symbols replacing shields. HOWEVER I am not the only target demographic. Since the vast majority of viewers won't remember that game or weren't alive when it was on, why not do a bit of recycling, there's plenty of brand new games to keep me smiling. 

Now there's been a few articles put out as a bit of publicity, as they did last year they invited journalists to try some games, and according to a couple of pieces, some superfans were invited to test the new games. Those lucky swines. Well, lucky and probably at least in one case devilishly handsome.

1 down, 11 to go probably with a break after the first 5 specials. So here's a treat Channel 4's Youtube is streaming over the weekend. Plenty to spot: the first contestant using a wheelchair, the celebs featuring on this year's Xmas special (Unbelievable Jeff, it's not Xmas without _______), and a soggy Richard, which isn't street slang, I hope.
