Beloved game show The Crystal Maze is returning to Channel 4 with Richard Ayoade on presenting duties.
The Crystal Maze originally ran from 1990 to 1995.
Ayoade, star of C4 sitcom The IT Crowd and director of films Submarine and The Double, will bring his irreverent wit to proceedings, taking over from past hosts Richard O’Brien and Ed Tudor-Pole.
Following Channel 4’s acquisition of The Great British Bake Off, Ayoade was bandied around as a potential replacement for hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
