Re: Challenge TV
I don't think there's any possibility of Challenge being dead in two years. They seem to be able to get away with being lazy/uninspired day-in-day-out (I guess enough people watch it that they're meeting their minimum numbers, and they see no reason to change what they're doing)
I certainly agree that they need a fresh idea, but no idea what that'd be/mean. Some new shows that THEY commission and produce themselves might make the channel less stale.
I was thinking of opening a new forum project where we send our own original ideas off to channels and attempt to get them commissioned. It's certainly more for fun than anything else, but you never know! I'll try to start the project tomorrow...

Re: Challenge TV
Apologies for the camera in front of the TV quality, but here's the opening titles of the two versions of Sushi TV

Re: Challenge TV
Oh man, that takes me back! Out of the two versions of Sushi TV, I prefer Craig's. It would be good if you could upload some episodes.

Re: Challenge TV
I don't upload full episodes of anything due to copyright. But if I do have the time I may consider doing a private setting like on the videos of the Keshi Heads site.

Re: Challenge TV
First, Challenge's Facebook page stopped responding to the viewers and now they rarely post there. It's a shame that the once game show channel is now in decline. With Comcast about to take over Sky, I suspect that the channel will be closed down before long.

Re: Challenge TV
That'd be pretty sad - the end of an era
It doesn't seem like it'll close too soon though..

Re: Challenge TV
Thought I'd post this here because Challenge did air Endurance a long long time ago
A Golden Wonder Crisps advert based on Endurance https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=2qaEyIIxhJU

I can't watch the video on my school computer, so I'll have to ask you:
1. What are Golden Wonder Crisps?
2. What is Endurance?
Alright, alright, I can wait till I get home

Re: Challenge TV
Google exists for a reason, but anyway, I'll tell you want Endurance is. It's a series that aired on the channel back in the late 90's, which is based on a cult Japanese show (clips were shown in the ITV series Clive James on Television/Tarrant on TV) in which people have to go through unpleasant experiences and whoever endures for the longest is declared the winner. The UK series was last repeated in 2009 (late at night, I would assume).

Re: Challenge TV
Lol sorry, I didn't actually want someone to explain!
It was just my intricate way of saying I didn't understand
Thank you for the explanation anyway!
