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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze was a game show which is no longer being shown on mainstream TV (it was on Channel 4) but is regularly repeated on digital channel Challenge TV. It was first hosted by Richard O'Brian and then by Ed Tudor-Pole.

In my childhood days, back in the early 1990s, there was always one evening programme that I looked forward for each week, that programme was called The Crystal Maze!

This was another of my must watch programmes on TV - when Channel 4 was in its infancy it was really keen to commission some programmes which were very different to any of the programmes which were being shown at the time and this was another of them. The programme consisted of a team of six people - who would already know each other ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: The Crystal Maze is a TV gameshow from the 1990s. It is, perhaps, the oddest thing ever on TV. The reality of the show was that teams from the public tried to complete puzzles and physical challenges that tested both brain and body. The story the creators chose to put behind it is that you are collecting crystals to win cash ...  Read the complete review

This was a groundbreaking adventure quiz show from the early 1990s that featured a lot of business executives in shiny shell suits running through varied "zones". The show was simply, fantastic, knocking the slots off similar quiz shoes of the time; not least, The Krypton Factor, which paled in comparison - both in terms of perceived ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze! Wow I loved this game show and always insisted that I was going to go on one day. That day has never came!

The Crystal Maze, for the record, is the best game show that ever existed. When the charismatic, charming Richard O'Brien was presenting the programme, it couldn't be anything but a hit, combining a good quality quiz adventure with ditsy, comical contestants that couldn't fail to entertain you - in one way or another - throughout the sixty minutes ...  Read the complete review
