Game/Quiz Show Fantasy Casting

I was on Twitter last night (@maze_blog) and game show podcaster Jordan Hass was replying to someone in regards to a Weakest Link revival. Personally I felt there's only one choice for host and I woke up to a quick response from the gent in question:

So I've been thinking, who else could be hosting what revival? And whilst I quite like Rylan on TV he's got enough shows under his belt, so he's not getting any more.

As Bradley Walsh Departs Doctor Who, Here's A Reminder of "Midas Touch"

As in the case of Bradley Walsh, every so often there's a personality whom you can't remember not knowing who they were. Jonathan Ross has been on TV since at least the 1950's for example. Before him Bruce Forsyth was entertaining Queen Liz I. But do you remember a time BB? Before Bradley?

He's done it all, quizzes, gameshows, sitcoms, soaps, serious drama, a film, viral corpsing videos from 'The Chase' and has just announced his departure from the role of Graham in 'Doctor Who'. Seriously, go look at his Wikipedia and gawp at just how much the man has done. So as he files another project away alongside "Wheel of Fortune" and "Mike Bassett England Manager", I wanted to quickly talk about the first show I remember seeing him on in 1995, "Midas Touch".

Scavengers: ITV's Entry In The History of Adventure Game Shows, and John Leslie's Entry in 'Who Can't Act'

"The time: The Future. The place: Deep Space. Aboard the mothership Scavenger, the shuttlecraft Vulture prepares for takeoff. At the helm, Commander John Leslie..."

And thus ended all credibility this show had within 30 seconds. 

In 1994, ITV wanted a piece of the adventure game show pie and, in association with 20th Century Fox, came up with a show that had the working title "Aliens: The Game Show". Ridley Scott got wind of the idea and told them in no uncertain terms: "No." Thus Scavengers was born.
