Fifty 50 has a break from its sommerpause to bring you another Outside Broadcast, courtesy of Iain Weaver. This one is set at puzzle hunt event DASH in London.
Meanwhile Georgie Thompson and Josh Widdcombe are to be the new hosts of Fighting Talk. Never would have considered Georgie, but it might be quite a smart choice.
And finally, Challenge will be showing the C5 Fort Boyard from August. On our FB’14 discussion page I made a little point about dramatic and narrative effect, about having the antagonist communicate with the team from a distance and then face to face at the end. Imagine if they did a new version with Grantham as Boyard as the effective Pere Fouras character, sniping from the sidelines and controlling everything, and bought back Melinda Messenger with a new host? GOLD. Easy to do as well seeing as the new council pretty much ditches the Maitres d’ Tenebres in favour of other fort characters so you could eliminate the fairytale element the UK version never really did anyway.
