Moderator Tommy Posted October 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2017 RTL Nitro hmmm, that always takes a while to find But they're showing Turkey vs. Iceland tonight, so I'll try to remember where it is until February. Will Takeshi Kitano be involved at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Awesome! Although I like it best in its Most Extreme Elimination Challenge format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Takeshi Kitano be involved at all? No, unfortunately Thais bought the rights to it a while ago, so it's completely new cast, just the same format, obstacles and same back story. I actually caught a few episodes on TV here last year, not sure if it's the same that will now be shown in Europe or if they are actually filming completely new series now.

Rick Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Wish it were Craig Charles doing it but Ross should do a good job. I absolutely loved this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Takeshi's Castle was one of the best TV shows from my childhood and I'm glad its back. I just wonder if we will have any winners this time?! There were 8 winners in previous Takeshi Castle That said, I only remember one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 My favourite was the giant American ex-baseball player who'd just look so out-of-place inbetween all the Japanese people. Sadly, he's been dead for like 2 decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it was also the one where Takeshi was substituted by a weird big-head doll of sorts. EDIT: Found it, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yep there was a winner when they used water guns. Great news this. I am still waiting to see the new Crystal Maze. Curious to know if anyone here has seen it. Two of the best game shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understand why some are put off this new version because of him but if I remember correctly, the older host (also named Richard?) was quite quirky as well.

IgnisExcubitor Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah Richard O'brien was unique. His quirkiness never felt cringey. But considering that I am a fan of the IT crowd, I might love Ayoade, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
