The Crystal Maze comes to Freeview

Good news if you live in the UK and own a TV - the channel 'Challenge' has come to Freeview, and they're showing old episodes of The Crystal Maze, which was of course hosted by the fabulous Richard O'Brien.

If you've never seen The Crystal Maze, it's a gameshow where contestants battle to win time crystals. The more they collect, the more time they have in The Crystal Dome for the final challenge, where they have to catch as many gold tokens as they can while both silver and gold ones fly around madly.

It's always a laugh and definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it, if only for Richard O'Brien!

UK - Rocky Horror Glee Show - E4 Monday

News for UK based Rocky Horror fans (I can't bring myself to say 'good' news).

As you may already know, American musical show Glee did an episode in time for Hallowe'en called 'The Rocky Horror Glee Show' where the Glee club decide to put on Rocky Horror for the school's annual musical, but a bunch of whiny teenage problems get in the way and... Well, let's just say I was unimpressed, for the sake of politeness.

The episode is scheduled to air in Britain on Monday Feb 7th at 9pm on E4.  UK fans - will you be watching?

I've decided to watch the episode again because I was, uh, not very pleasant about it after my first viewing (you can read my review here) and I want to decide whether I was being overly cruel or not. I'll admit, some of the musical numbers are not done badly. But that's as nice as I'm prepared to be about it right now. And don't even get me started on the abysmal lyric changes...
