Crikey, I've set myself a difficult one here. I'm sure I can think of some, gimme a moment. Errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm, hang on. Um, er, um. Oh um, er... oh yes.


The Crystal Maze was better than Knightmare because...


...None of the cast in the Crystal Maze were dressed like rejects from a Doctor Who convention. Well, no more than two of them anyway. Well no more than three of them. Hang on, there WERE only three of them...

...Not that The Crystal Maze did much better, but there was too much repetition in Knightmare...

...Not that The Crystal Maze did much better, but there was too much repetition in Knightmare...

...In the Crystal Maze you genuinely had to run fast to escape from a puzzle room in time. In Knightmare on the other hand, to evade a supremely powerful monster's dreadful lightning attacks all you apparently had to do was sidestep carefully to the left and walk very very slowly to the door...

...Those 80's-style jumpsuits may have been kakky, but at least they didn't look as stupid as the Helmet of Justice...

...The actors in The Crystal Maze clearly weren't dying of embarrassment when they did their lines...

...The Producers never wasted time worrying about making The Crystal Maze a properly coherent, on-going game which might, for instance, retain the viewer's interest...

...Treguard's hairstyle lacked a certain... something. Scissors and a comb, if season two's anything to go by...

...Richard and Ed never went around insulting the viewers' intelligence by pretending the show was anything other than a pointless game...


And the number one reason why The Crystal Maze is better than Knightmare is...


...Three words - Pickle. And. Majida.
