Crystal Maze is a challenge gameshow where a group of 6 people battle it out in a series of games based on mental, physical and skill challenges. Each challenge is completed by a chosen member of the team. Just before the challenge, the leader of the team decides who would be most suitable to complete that particular type of challenge. The challenge is timed, if the challenge is not completed within a certain amount of time and the team member doesn't leave the room before the time is up the team member is locked in. However if the challenge is completed on time the team are awarded with a crystal ball. Crystal balls can be exchanged for locked in team members or used to ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze was a thoroughly entertaining 1980s game show, initially fronted by Richard O'Brien of Rocky Horror Picture Show fame and later by Ed Tudor-Pole, who did nowhere near as good a job. To be fair to him, he had a hell of a pair of shoes to fill, O'Brien was hilariously witty, mocking the poorer contestants while never stepping over the line. The rules were fairly simple: a team of six took a journey through four zones: Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic (one of the latter two was later replaced by Ocean, but I can't remember which). Various one-person games in the genres physical, mental, skill and mystery, of a duration between two and ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze was a gameshow from the 1990's which was hosted by Richard O brien and later taken over by Ed Tudor Pole. At the beginning of the game the viewers are presented with a team of people who are about to try and conquer the Crystal Maze by completing tasks and collecting rystals which would give them a certain amount of time in the Crystal Dome at the very end.

I have to admit that Richard O Brien was my favourite presenter even though he was more than ...  Read the complete review

I haven't seen this for years, but have just found it while channel surfing just now. This was a Cult TV programme in the 90's and think it was most popular in 1990. I'm sure that's when I got to watch it on Channel 4 at 9pm I think. That was pretty late for a 10 year old, but the show was great. You can now see it on the Satellite/Cable channel Challenge, which shows Game Show programmes. It is on at 11am, and repeated at 12pm on Challenge +1hour. The show lasts 1 hour with 3 ad breaks, so approx 44 minutes. There was 2 presenters on the show. Richard O Brian hosted the show for the majority of it's run. He was the best presenter, as he seemed a bit mad cap. ...  Read the complete review
