Tommy 4,410 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panflute 404 Posted October 6, 2017 Awesome! Although I like it best in its Most Extreme Elimination Challenge format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1,163 Posted October 7, 2017 Wish it were Craig Charles doing it but Ross should do a good job. I absolutely loved this show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panflute 404 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toony 95 Posted October 7, 2017 Ah I used to love this aswell, nice to hear it's coming back. In the episodes I watched, and there was quite a few, I don't actually remember ever seeing anyone win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think it was also the one where Takeshi was substituted by a weird big-head doll of sorts. EDIT: Found it, haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IgnisExcubitor 671 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 671 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
