Ten Pole Tudor are a pretty poor band.
Oh look there's J.G. Ballard in a burnt-out fridge with a spitfire pilot.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
Never thought I'd see anyone who preferred Ed. The fact that the Crystal Maze had 4 successful series with Reckless Rick and only 2 more less successful series after he left speaks volumes. In the end, most people watched the Crystal Maze for Richard O'Brien. Switching to Ed is like having someone other than Hugo Myatt playing Treguard. Knightmare would soon have perished without him. Ooooh, nasty!

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
Edward Tudor Pointless probably wasn't helped by the fact that after so long the format was pretty obvious and predictable. Richard O'Brilliant got out while the show was still popular. If he'd stayed, the ratings would perhaps still have dipped eventually, even with his wit and personality keeping a lot of viewers on board.
Having said that, I think loads of people just watched it for RO'B and Tudor-Pointless didn't even compare for many people. RO'B was always a little detached from the game; it was obvious he took it with a pinch of salt. ET-P just seemed so overly into it that I think a lot of people suddenly woke up to the tacky elements of it all. He might have done better if he'd not tried quite so hard and, like Debz said, been himself.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
And I wonder how the KM production team would have handled it if Hugo had decided to move on.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
Yeah, especially in series 3 and 4, Richard seemed to be thinking 'Oh my god, what a thick bunch of people I have around me' most of the time. It seemed inevitable really that he would give it up sooner or later but his replacement would always have too big an act to follow and try as Ed did (and boy did he try), he didn't match up.
Surely KM would have ceased very soon had Hugo left. This would be more clear cut than with the Crystal Maze. Can anyone imagine anyone taking over from Hugo? It just wouldn't happen.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
I forgot to mention the repetitiveness of Ed's jokes! The "cosmic handshake" joke wasn't even funny and yet he still repeated it about 100 times.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
Not to mention the button in the Futuristic zone which no-one was to press under any circumstances. Ed says, 'Team, you must NOT ... Press ... this ... button,' while repeatedly pressing it as hard as he can.
Another annoying trait was the way he insisted on standing with his legs open as wide as possible all the time.

He wasn't that bad, both were good, just for different reasons.

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
I would appear to be in a very small minority.
I will now add salt to my wound by saying that I thought Ann Robinson was the second-best (the best being Charles Kennedy) guest presenter of "Have I Got News For You".

Re: Challenge TV vs Brangwen!
I won't mock this time, since I never saw her episode. CK was very very good, though.
