The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4: How to apply for new series. “We’re on the lookout for teams of five contestants who have what it takes to navigate the Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Future zones of the maze,” said Crystal Maze producers. The games are fun, sort of junior "Krypton Factor" and I love how the ebullience the five- member teams in their sexless jumpsuits.Richard Ayoade during filming of the Graham Norton Show (Image: Jonathan Brady/PA Wire)Īnd if that sounds right up your street you can now apply to go on the show. Already he's trailing a bunch of potential catchphrases like they were flaming comets, such as "Come with!" "Tuck in!" "Follow the hand" and "Fast but safe" as well as pet abbreviations (mins for minutes and "alis" for automatic lick-in situation. Of course Richard O'Brien isn't on board, but in an inspired piece of casting Richard Ayoade gets the new gig, dry and sardonic but also supportive and humorous. 
They've not tinkered with hardly anything, so far as I can see, same theme tune, same programme concept, four gaming zones (which I don't think have changed either) same rules and same "climax" in the dome itself. Anyway, happily, it's absolutely great fun.
I've watched four of the brand-new series on Channel 4, after deliberately avoiding the inevitable and pointless "celebrity" specials which I presume were put out to attract the reality TV crowd who can't watch any kind of programme unless it contains some Z-lister. At last, the return of one of my favourite adventure / fantasy / game shows.
