I personally think lots of the world’s problems could be solved if Hole in The Wall got revived.

Robot Wars with Craig
Scrapheap Challenge with Rob
Edit: Just realised these two presenters were in Red Dwarf
Robot Wars - was legendary. I feel like it would be out of this world now…sponsorship would ruin it.
Hypnodisc was the goat
I agree, it would be corpo as fuck if released today
My budgie was married to Matilda.
He hated new bird toys, but he loved Matilda. He loved scratching his head on her spikes lol.
I didn’t let him watch Matilda getting trashed by Razer (was that the name? The one who had the tantrumy guy on the team).
Lots of scrapheap seems to be lost media too 😔
I think scrapheap is coming back under a different name with Rob and Colin Furze.
That will be interesting if Furze gets to make stuff
I miss Numberwang
They probably need to bring Knightmare back.
Even better, do a modern reboot for grown-ups presented by Greg Davies and Alex Horne.
Sean Lock
That carrot in a box episode was gold
Weekly - Crystal maze, Legendary Daily - Blockbusters - education after the cartoons
and then of course the sat night stuff - strike it lucky, wheel of fortune, blind date…if that counts.Crystal maze! I still play the theme tune in my head at times.
Richard O’Brien was a great watch.
Legends of the Hidden Temple was the coolest gameshow I saw when I was a kid. It was kind of like a mix of history trivia and American Gladiators physical challenges.
The winning team got a chance to go on a timed run through an Eliminator-like obstacle course that was themed like an abandoned Mayan Temple where’d they’d have to solve puzzles and navigate the various physical challenges to win a big prize.
That show was fire AF. They should really bring it back.
Save or Shaft?
Knightmare
THE MOLE!
(Apparently there was a Netflix reboot?)
Anyway, it’s traitors but:
- No stupid drama, no affected “yourself”, no pretending that the show is the best thing since you discovered masturbation
- One traitor (aka the mole)
- Who stays is determined by a quiz where you have to answer questions like “which team was the mole on in X challenge”
- The mole is trying to sabotage every single challenge - so the team has actual good info to go on. Traitors is basically all gut feeling.
- The mole always aces the quiz, so you don’t need obvious producer manipulation to keep the game going
- Most significantly for the experience, the audience DOES NOT KNOW who the mole is! You have to work it out too! There are a number of extra clues that attentive viewers can pick up.
For all these reasons and more, traitors makes me unreasonable angry.
It’s funny how a lot of the best ones were children’s shows. In the same vein:
Incredible Games (if you’re anything like me, you may remember it as “the one with the lift” or “the one with the giant bowl of soup” but you may not be able to remember its name)
Terror Towers
Finders Keepers
and of course:
Fun HouseAnd for the grown-ups, the most undeserved flop of a show ever: The Murder Game
Fun House
Its a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won.
Sometimes I still think of X-Fire
