In 2017, 20 episodes were commissioned for a revived series of 'The Crystal Maze' hot on the heels of a successful one-off hosted by Stephen Merchant. Richard Ayoade took the helm for the series and everyone was enjoying themselves. However, as time wore on everyone was commenting that the games were becoming a bit samey, and viewing figures dropped as we'd all seen the Totem Mastermind Dragon game just a little too often. After 17 episodes, Channel 4 seemingly gave up with the run leaving three unaired.
These episodes still aired in other markets the show was sold to so they weren't forgotten completely, but last night @UndeniablyAlex alerted me to an ad airing on Channel 4 after they aired 'The Bridge' showing they were going to be airing these 3 shows on E4. "Coming Soon" says the ad so expect them within the month.

About time too, with Lockdown 2 steaming into view on the horizon, I'm going to need something to watch. You'll be able to see The Ali family, The Midwives, and the Sasani Family and Friends at some point soon on E4.

Also, don't forget that The Crystal Maze USA will be back on Nickelodeon UK this week after a two-week hiatus. Friday, at 7pm.
At least some progress. Haven't a clue what their going to do with the remaining celeb episodes from 2019. You'd think with lockdown 2 coming this would be the ideal time to show them.
ReplyDeleteThey may well come along afterwards, but that advert they've put out only shows civilians
DeleteDo you know when the remaining 6 episodes from 2019 going to air ?
ReplyDeleteIf we did know, we'd be sworn to secrecy. And would absolutely not let it slip in a moment of overenthusiasm on twitter a month ago which has since been deleted because I didn't want the wrong people annoyed at me
