If like me you grew up in the 90`s you remembered tuning to see 6 people solving puzzles risking being looked in while being guided by Raff Raff from Rocky Horror. After a long time the show is back.

So what’s changed for start the host Richard O`Brian now a little to old to being running around Has been replaced by Richard Ayoade. For those who are It Crowd Fans will know him as Moz. But this actor comedian/presenter is perfect for this role his quick wit and warm charm make him the geek you would want in a pub quiz but also as a wingman.

Next where the zones and the dome getting a nice face-lift. Future was the most noticeable looking less 2001 and more AA Abraham to the point I was expecting Spock to show up. The return of Industrial looked like something out out of a steam punk novel Aztec hadn’t changed much and nether medieval those zones didn’t need changing though the dome itself looked great the pool was gone but replaced by led flashing lights. The domes face-lift gave it modern take on the classic final game even the crystal holders looked shinny and new.

So what where the new games like well some interesting takes on ideas such swing planets and the guard to challenge the most physical and smartest contestants

The one thing that let it down was starting with a celeb special as I felt the games seemed to be dumbed down a little to help where think when Jo public' is on the games make be harder.

Overall the opening was good but I want to see how the games go without the celebs.

Sort:  

I really enjoyed the show, I agree with you, there needs to be that little bit more danger you get when general public does it. Plus they didn't have the draw bridge to the crystal dome..bring back the door bridge! :)
