Takeshi's Castle

I'm sitting here at work watching old repeats of Takeshi's castle on Challenge!

I honestly haven't stopped laughing

I know it's old now, but it nevergets tired

What's your favourite game on it?

I love the older ones. Knock-Knock is my Fav, where they have to choose whoch door to go through. I love it because sometimes people run at it and hurt themselves But they don't have to!!, they can go as slowly as they like.
Also Velcro-Fly is great

Occasionally on bridgeball, it hits them straight on the head and they kind of stagger a bit then fall off. Always makes me laugh.

I like the one were the contestants have to run at a screen, which could be paper or solid. Hilarity ensues when they do a good 15 foot run up and smack straight into a solid wall!

Don't know what it was called but I liked the one with the doors, where they always ended up running into the wrong one. xD

Yeah that is knock-knock. Some of them leg it as fast as they can and jump head first!

I have seen one person win it i think.
It always gets a slight chuckle when every week Craig Charles says "No winners this time on Takeshi's Castle"

The guy who runs at the boulder at 50 secs is brilliant!

Don't like the American voiceover though

This is my favourite-

Also there is ball-cupping where they have to catch a ball which rools down a pinball like structure. It's genius because even if you win, you have to get covered in mud. It's lose-lose

There is one mental one, it's similar to high rollers, they're on a giant rolling pin that goes down a slight incline -so they have to run against the direction it's moving, then half way down, the incline gets way steeper

That is the hardest one by a mile. One of them does it though!

Yeah Wipeout is great too, but what i love about Takeshi's Castle is that almost all of the games on it can be done without being hurt/injured or dangerous, but the contestants do them in a dangerous way anyway.
Like on skipping Stones. If you want to you can just go really slowly and make sure you get across, but they don't do that they run as fast as they can

Same with Knock-Knock. just walk up to the door and see if it is real or not. But no, they run head first at it at full speed. LOL
