Krypton Factor Comeback

The Krypton Factor is coming back. As a child I was fascinated by this show, usually giving my support (unintentionally) to the one who couldn't assemble the puzzle blocks or climb under the assault course net. I don't know if bringing it back is good or not

Maybe they will bring back It's A Knockout next!

I remember the building block puzzles, it will be interesting to see if ITV broadcast this on ITV1 or one of the minor channels

As for it's a knockout didn't the royals just about kill it off a few years ago.

I think for many it was an embarrasment to both the show and the competitors

If the Royals didn't then Frank Bruno, Keith Chegwin and Melinda Messenger did in two series on Channel Five about eight years ago. Actually was it Ms Messinger or am I thinking of somebody else.

Anyway I loved the original Krypton Factor but remakes of old gameshows just don't seem to work, don't know why. Best they think up some thing new based on the original format like the Crystal Maze or Fort Boyard was.

The 'royals' did their best to kill the royals off.

I'd totally forgotten about The Krypton Factor.
