We’ve been alerted to the fact that the new Crystal Maze board game has begun its slow roll-out and you can buy it from WH Smiths for £28. KEEP ‘EM PEELED.
It’s meant to be coming to bigger retailers in due course.

A question for The Chase nerds
My mate is currently at a pub quiz with the Dark Destroyer having posed the question what was the date of the first ever episode of The Chase
Online sources say 29 June 2009 but I know there was a pilot run of episodes alongside The Fuse initially…were they aired starting that date or earlier?
Well The Fuse went out 13th July, so yes probably.
This got me thinking, there will probably be a 10th anniversary special episode next year. Maybe with the best past contestants invited back to play for charity, or have the team entirely made up of 4 of the Chasers.
I went diving in The Cellar. It’s 29, June 2009.
Yes. The first episode did air 29th June. The original slot was called Quiz Time at 5, they aired two weeks of The Chase, two weeks of The Fuse, and whichever did better stayed on. Obviously you know what won.
I’ve just found out about this new show, For Fact’s Sake, hosted by Brendan O’Carroll. I don’t know if you already know about this, but it’s definitely the first I’ve heard of it. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/tv-radio/mrs-browns-boys-stars-back-13409394.amp
In other news, Rylan Clark maybe the new host of Supermarket Sweep. There is some pretty confirmed material on the table in one picture n the table which makes it very hard to deny.

Rylan is a good host, as he somehow managed to hold together the mess that was Babushka. I wonder what time slot this will go out in, as the old 9.25 slot doesn’t really exist now and I can’t imagine it going into the 5pm slot as the 2007 version did. Maybe it will go into the 3pm Tenable slot, that feels about right.
I’m thinking this might be a primetime slot potential either on a Saturday or Sunday night slot. Especially if Freemantle are thinking of Celebritising the show. (If it is even a word).
“Yes, Rylan!”
I think Rylan would be a great choice, the issue will be trying to get 60 minutes out of it.
