Comments
Classic Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is my most favourite show on Challenge. I have been watching it for two years exactly and I really want to see Pat Gibson winning the £1 Million which hasn't been shown since January 2010. I would definitely be over the moon to see it again.
Darren Monaghan 13 September 2011
I glad Wheel of Fortune is returning on Challenge. Family Fortunes is my favourite show ever.
Daniel Mullins 13 September 2011
TNA impact wresting and PPV are the best shows on challenge thanks for show it on freeview
Tom Martin 13 September 2011
Good to see Fort Boyard making a return.
Andy Roscoe 14 September 2011
will there be any chance of matthew kelly's stars in their eyes making a return at some point also friends like these?
Francis King 20 September 2011
Is there any chance of seeing Bob Monkhouse and Max Bygraves' series of Family Fortunes again soon... :) BH
Bryan Higgins 24 September 2011
I like wheel of fortune, glad its going to be shown at weekends, would also like to see some Treasure Hunt with Anike Rice and co..
anthony mcnee 27 September 2011
It's Not What You Know is making a return to Challenge. It will be returning just a few days before Halloween. It will be shown at 6am Monday to Friday for a short period of time then the 6am slot will then presumably move back to Classic Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? :D
Darren Monaghan 01 October 2011
I have an idea. At the Halloween weekend, you could have a weekend run of Classic Millionaire episodes as well as the 9pm ones during the week. Please show episodes from 2004 and 2005 in the weekend run because they haven't been shown for the longest time. Triple bill every Saturday and Sunday or something please. Thanks :)
Darren Monaghan 01 October 2011
All these shows are great but is there any chance you can bring back to our screens Challenge Anneka? used to love that programme i think it first aired in 1989 or somewhere round there.
Jason Williams 07 October 2011
Its great to see the Richard O'brien Crystal Maze episodes back, Ed Tudor Pole never really captured the audience like Richard. Also loving the Fort Boyard episodes, My daughter and i love watching these when she comes home from school. I would like to see the Generation Game with Sir Bruce Forsyth being shown on challenge...watching this used to make me laugh so much.
Suzanne Cottage 13 October 2011
is there any chance of Classic Millionaire episodes from series 1 in 1998 and so on being shown on Challenge? Please show them. They are good episodes from the early days that many people want to watch
Darren Monaghan 14 October 2011
Thank you so much for Fort Boyard and The Crystal Maze! As far as I know, there was a group on the Crystal maze the got 50 seconds inside the crystal dome. Is there any chance of that episode being shown?
David Faulkner 16 October 2011
All very well but when will the remainder of the 1992 series of Blockbusters be shown. Also, why are you airing pointlessly edited versions of Family Fortunes and Millionaire - they're not Lottery based shows like In It To Win It, Winning Lines or 1 vs 100 so why cut stuff out that you don't need to?
Brett Linforth 17 October 2011
What on earth is Acq? That I see on the TV guide for November on Challenge. I don't like the look of it. Sounds boring
Darren Monaghan 18 October 2011
Acq has now changed to Deal or No Deal :D so glad about that. Please show Classic Millionaire on weekends only because more people are at home then
Darren Monaghan 20 October 2011
Would be nice to see some of the earlier series of 3-2-1 from 1978 to 1985 - they've not been shown for ages and would be just as a enjoyable as watching them the first time around. Even though I remember watching most of them as a kid.
Bryan Higgins 21 October 2011
It would be nice to see Fort Boyard with Melinda Messenger with Leslie Grantham as Boyard. I like them better than Jodie Penfold and Chris Ellison. Please show the ones with Melinda again.
Joe Caukwell 23 October 2011
It Would be great to see the old series of 321.
Chris Simon Paul Penfold-Ivany 27 October 2011
it would be nice to see the series from 1982 to the end.
Chris Simon Paul Penfold-Ivany 30 October 2011
Hi - just wanted to say what a HUGE shame it is they didn't do a 3rd series of "Take it or Leave it", as the first 2 you can now almost say word for word along with them ! And how about stuff like Bob Monkhouse's "$64,000 dollar question" or "Bob's Full House "? - and why has 'Pointless' suddemly stopped !
WYN EVANS 01 November 2011
Agree with Wyn. It would be great to see Bob's Full House, instead of the endless re-runs of Family Fortnes et al. And what about Jimmy Tarbuck's Frame Game, & Winner Takes All plus Bruce Forsyth & The Generation Game from the 70s, Terry Wogan's Blankety Blank, & Paul Daniel's with Every Second Counts & Odd One Out. There are hundreds of game shows, that never get shown & I can't believe people want to watch the same tired out ones, all the time...& I nearly forgot, how about Steve Jones & the original Pyramid Game?
Trevor Ager 02 November 2011
I TOTALLY AGREE TREVOR!! CHALLENGE TV LIKES BLOWING THERE OWN TRUMPET WHEN IT COMES TO SHOWING THE SAME PROGS BUT AT A DIFFERENT TIME SLOT BUT ITS THE ENDLESS REPEATS OF SHOWS THAT IRATE ME. THERE COULD BE ALL THE LILY SAVAGE BLANKETY BLANKS FROM THE BBC THAT COULD BE SHOWN + BRUCE FORSYTH YOU BET + LESLIE CROWTHER STARS IN THEIR EYES . THE LIST IS ENDLESS BUT DO THEY LISTEN OR READ THESE COMMENTS , I DONT THINK SO!!
DAVID PYPER 03 November 2011
PS IT MIGHT ALSO BE THAT CHALLENGE TV IS NOW OWNED BY SKY SO ITS WILL BE JUST LIKE THE GOLD TV CHANNEL THATS OWNED BY THE BBC THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW ENDLESS REPEATS OF THE SANE SITCOMS I GIVEN UP ON GOLD UNTIL THEY START SHOWING CLASSICS LIKE TONY HANCOCK , MORECAMBE & WISE, CANNON & BALL,+ THE TREASURE TROVE OF CLASSIC SITCOMS ARE YOU BEING SERVED, HI DE HI ETC ETC
DAVID PYPER 03 November 2011
ALSO TO ADD INSULT TO THIS THE "321" PHOTO IS FROM THE EARLIER SERIES THAT NEVER ,I REPEAT NEVER GETS SHOWN ON CHALLENGE TV , MAYBE CHRISTMAS THEY COULD SHOW LOTS OF CLASSIC 70S & 80S GAMESHOWS AS A TREAT LIKE THEY DID A FEW YEARS AGO IE THE GENERATION GAME WITH BRUCE FROM THE EARLY 90S + THE GOLDEN SHOT,JEUX SAN FRONTIERES. THE LIST IS ENDLESS BUT MY COMMENTS WILL ALWAY FALL ON DEAF EARS AS NORMAL.
DAVID PYPER 03 November 2011
Well said David. And I agree about Gold. There I was in 1996, thinking i'll sign up with Sky, so I can watch some of the classics on UK Gold & what was then the Family Channel (before it became Challenge) & a couple of years in, both channels are bought by someone else, & the same old stuff is shown constantly. UK Gold became Gold, but should be called David Jason & Ronnie Barker tv! How they can call themselves Gold is beyond me, because half the stuff they show is anything but Gold i.e Outnumbered...hardly gold that one! And then when both channels do show anything, they edit to ribbons, for certain things may offend people! Only thing that offends me, is the constant times "Only Fools & Horses & Fawlty Towers are shown.
Trevor Ager 03 November 2011
i'm really pleased with the line-up at the moment on challenge ( will be even more when D.O.N.D & 1vs100 start ) I know people wanted to see Deal on Challenge as long as 3 years ago. . . just a case of waiting for the community to get up & running. So can start blogging about what I/we would like to see return to Challenge or air for the 1st time! just a few returns being . . Bruce's price is right, Paul Daniels wipeout, Big Break, Friends Like These & 1993/1995 Krypton Factor. New shows . . The Waiting Game, Total Wipeout, Divided, & Lose a Million. :)
Dave Howitt 04 November 2011
Dave..you are easily pleased mate! Try asking why the beggining of Wipeout with Paul Daniels is edited? I seem to remember that on BBC1, the show fitted into a full half hour. Suddenly on Challenge it's like 23 minutes+. Now why is that?
Trevor Ager 04 November 2011
Classic UK Gladiators, not the new sky one series, the old itv series...........please start showing it again
Will Jenkins 05 November 2011
It would be great if you could show the earlier series of The Krypton Factor from 1977-1986 as well as the 1987-1995 series. In The Crystal Maze, there was an edit on the final episode as the team captain Jim Alexander's dedication shown on the original broadcast but got removed from the repeats but contestant David MacPherson's dedication is still showing.
Tracy Austin 05 November 2011
I would like to see Young Krypton on Challenge which is a spin-off from The Krypton Factor like you do with the Children's Specials from The Crystal Maze.
The Krypton Factor and The Crystal Maze are my favourite Challenge programmes.
Tracy Austin 05 November 2011
would love to see the Price is right with Lesile Crowther and Blankly blank with Les Dawson hope you will show these
Michael Tinker 05 November 2011
it be nice to see some old classics and not the same reruns - its nice Deal or No Deal starts but be nice if Bobs full house 64,000 dollar question , winner takes all , original pyramid game , crosswits, gambit, concentration , bring back the classics please please
Darren Peat 06 November 2011
I'd love to see gameshows such as Lucky Ladders and Big Break on Challenge!
James Coyle 06 November 2011
hehe. no 1 has said im easily pleased before. I guess I would be happier if I was challenge's scheduler. cos i would come up with some decent line ups. Be good to find out what the buying power is like for programing & if it will be possible to commission any new shows for challenge in the future. Also some better organising & special weekends etc. . like getting some really good classics that people keep asking for in like a 'gameshow gods' cult selection & newer stuff in primetime.
Anyway as for the edits in Paul Daniels Wipeout, that will be because it was 28 mins on bbc & it fills the same space on challenge. they edit it down to make way for.the ad break. They thort that they were removing pointless bits that don't ruin the game. I do find it annoying tho, cos takes a bit of sparkle away.
Dave Howitt 09 November 2011
to challenge
please can we have more new gameshows that were shown in the past from 1997 like crosswits, strike it lucky, 3-2-1 1978 to 1985, family fortunes 1982-1992. the pyramid game steve jones era. any gameshows from the 9.25am slot? concentration nick jackson and bob carolgees many other gameshows thanks.
Simon Mason 10 November 2011
Must echo David Pyper's comments about UK 'Gold' - I certainly don't think endless repeats of shows which have only just finished on the BEEB as in recent years like 'My Family' and 'Dinnerladies in ANY way qualify as 'Gold' - as David said, where are the likes of "Hancock" , maybe .Juliet Bravo' etc - - - Challenge has SUCH a treasure-chest to choose from - "Bob's your Uncle', 'Give us a Clue', the Nicholas Parsons 'Sale of the Century etc, but instead Les Dennis is raking in daily royalties from episodes of 'Family Fortune we've all seen a million times !!
WYN EVANS 10 November 2011
why dont you put blind date on or robot wars or pets win prizes plz pick one of these tv game shows
.. .. 13 November 2011
My favourite gameshow was Knightmare, and I think I've seen it on Chellenge in the past. Any chance of showing that again?
Catherine Lowden 15 November 2011
I'm pretty sure that Paul Daniels "Wipeout" had a qualifying question to begin the first round...Surely that is important to the game, alone?
I can't see any point in editig these shows. If it doesn't fit in 30 minutes, put it in a 35 minute slot!
Trevor Ager 17 November 2011
I would like to see Jepoardy with Paul Ross be re shown-briliant host and great series. He also did Telly stack which was brill as well.
eddie vee 08 December 2011
Take It Or Leave It and The Crystal Maze are legends on Challenge; including Blockbusters and Catch Phrase. Always cheer me up!
Henry Kelly's 'Going For Gold' is something I would suggest. Used to enjoy that as a kid!
Also Jim Davidson's Generation Game and Big Break were favourites of mine too. Surprised I've never seen them on Challenge.
Adam Lawrence 08 December 2011
hey challenge, please bring back bruce's price is right, it's like the best show ever !!!!!
leanne aubin 11 December 2011
Hey Challenge, Please can you make a new series of Bullseye it was such a great show and could it be bought back with Dave Spikey as the presenter. Could you also show The Generation Game.
Sarah Leggett 13 December 2011
Great news that challenge has got tna impact,xplosion and ppvs until 2013 at least.
Top move challenge and finally a real alternative to wwe.Steve Gill
Stephen Gill 16 December 2011
Hi Challenge. When is the second series of Deal or No Deal returning? It has many many fans and having been a past contestant, can't wait to see it again. Please make my wisha come true xx
Brenda Martin 01 January 2012
WHEN IS EGGHEADS COMING BACK TO CHALLENGE, PLEASE?
SOMPTINGMINNIE
Rita Howard 06 January 2012
Enjoy many of the old programmes offered on Challenge. Is there any chance of previous series of Treasure Hunt being re-run. It was most enjoyable to use maps and reference books to solve the clues and also to see other interesting and beautiful parts of our country.
Kind regards
Martin Lewis 10 January 2012
Hello there im a regular viewer to challenge, i would like to know when interceptor will be returning to challenge, as its a good programme and would like to see it again :)
Francis King 11 January 2012
Would like to see Treasure Hunt, would not mind even if you could show the revival with Dermot and Suzi Perry.
Martin Duhig 13 January 2012
Have you noticed that after showing the last episode of Season 5 of The Crystal Maze, they jump straight to the 1st Season instead of showing Season 6. What's going on? Do Challenge not have Season 6 or something? Season 6 is my favourite Season by the way and I'm disappointed they're not showing it.
Rory Skene 15 January 2012
Does Anyone That Works At Challenge Reply To The Messages Like When We Had The Old Challenge Forums, Get Interceptor Back Please. And Lay Off Back To Back Episodes All Day, It Gets Boring After A While lol.
Please Reply
Thanks Fran :)
Francis King 16 January 2012
When Crystal Maze end of epsiode 13 in Series one then next christmas special why put in series 5 should be 1991 series 2 tidy with order
Please can reply me
Thanks James
James Gillespie 04 February 2012
They only did one series but Chris Tarrant did a quiz show called Lose a Million - I'd like that to be shown again!
Paul Holland 05 February 2012
Strike it Lucky was on for years; could the repeats make a return? Top, Middle or Bottom?
Paul Holland 05 February 2012
Can we have the Adventure Game, Treasure Hunt, Pyramid Game (Steve Jones) Gambit, Name That Tune, Punchlines (Lennie Bennet) and otehr old shows like that back on challenge, these shows that are on now are getting repeated too often and the channel needs a change of different shows back on!!
NIGEL RIGGALL 06 February 2012
Will the price is right or supermarket sweep be maing an appearence soon?
Natasha Kibble 07 February 2012
Any chance of showing Midas Touch, a gameshow hosted for 2 series by Bradley Walsh in the mid 90s.
Every Second Counts is also well worth another run.
Adam Walton 17 February 2012
Would love to see Interceptor back on our screens. And something that would make my day, Bob's Full House or Brucies Generation Game :)
