They also remade this for the US too which shows just how far ahead the Japanese are in terms of whacky game shows.

Indeed i liked the human tetris :).Iv seen a ton of the Japanese game shows over there and some of them make Takeshis castle look like University challenge,one show including a who can dribble the longest contest complete with a measuring wall to measure the dribble and who can hang on a hot cable the longest...very very strange ;).

I remember seeing Endurance on the Clive James Show. Utter insanity.

I havent seen that before :(.But i remember lots of japanese extreme game shows on challenge TV such as extreme Endurance,Drunken Buisnessman and Sushi Tv which show japanese game shows to be cruel yet funny.Id love to participate in one of them myself one day! Couldnt imagine the UK ever wanting to do our own version of Endurance mind..Still back on topic,i love the hole in the wall games.I remember seeing an episode of the show in japan where a fat guy had to try leap through a triangle gapped hole just at the top of the wall,naturally he couldnt and was knocked into ice cold water after ^-^..

The mere fact that Dale Winton is involved means this won't make a second series.

Well he is a pretty awful host,nice guy but is unbearable to watch.Not to mention the fact tv critics and most people in the uk will see this show as totally stupid and childish.If tv was like this everyweekend rather then same old music and dance shows then i would be glued to the screen ^_^.

That was then and this is now. Also its Prime Time Saturday night not daytime when only OAPs and Studnets have nothing better to do...
