Challenge TV

They just don't make quiz shows like they use to, with the surge in reality television, the traditional game shows we all loved to watch have most definetly declined. Challenge TV available on satellite & cable however allows you to relive the best of the gameshow era by reshowing these on the 24 hours entertainment channel. Although the channel does show mostly old gameshows from the past, there are a few original shows on it too. These include imports from the far east such as Takish's Castle & Ninja Warrier, as well as new versions of classic shows such as Bullseye. However the best thing about this channel is definetly its selection of ...  Read the complete review

This channel is about as simple as you can get, and does exactly what it does on the tin. You love classic gameshows? Well this is the channel for you, and this channel has a host of classic gameshows you loved as a kid or even older ones you can watch now because you were too young to watch back when it was first aired (Like my favourite Interceptor!) The channel airs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and shows a host of gameshows from the UK. From my knowledge is doesn't have many overseas gameshows, it does have some from the US and Japan but 90% and the majority of the shows on this are classic UK gameshows and quiz shows. From old classics from the 80s and ...  Read the complete review

This channel has its own +1 channel which is great if you miss the first show you can watch the +1 show. Challenge is all about Britian and what is great about Britian, the TV shows such as Family fortunes and others such as 1 vs 100 which is a great show to watch. The big problem with this channel is that all the programmes are old and you may have seen then before which is not in any case good. Mainly the programmes are really classical such as Family Fortunes which goes back to when Les Dennis was presenting the show. The quality: the channel also doesn't have that good quality about it because the pictures are really old school and don't seem ...  Read the complete review

I think this has to be one of my favourtie channels on Sky because they show all the old school quiz and entertainment shows which you just don't see on TV anymore. The programmes tend to be all repeats with the occasional new show but no one seems to care as these old programmes are brilliant and much more entertaining than anything on TV at the moment. The programmes they seem to show a lot are programmes such as the Crystal Maze, Catchphrase, and Takeshi's Castle. My favourite programme on this channel is the Crystal Maze because it requires people do complete different challenges in order to collect crystals. The crystals give them ...  Read the complete review

Do you remember quiz shows back in the day, when you could sit down to a bit of Supermarket Sweep with Dale Winton or maybe a bit of flight simulation on Krypton Factor, well thats just what you get on Challenge TV, its like been in a time warp...with 90's fashion. My favourite programme has to be the legendy Crystal Maze with Richard O'Brian. Four Zones, lots of crystals and various contestants in coloured jumpsuits. Then, they all jump in a huge crystal shaped dome and run around after gold tin foil...now that is what I call televison entertainment. Then we have Supermarket Sweep with the ever orange Mr Winton. The most amusing part of the show ...  Read the complete review
