Entertainment Enigma Of The Month: The Crystal Maze
Dust off your harmonica and gather up those crystals, it’s time to watch one of the greatest TV shows of all time. That’s right, let’s have a moment to appreciate the incredible game show that was The Crystal Maze, which first aired on February 15th, 1990. Now, if you’re anything like me, you spent a lot of time shouting at the screen ‘lock him in, he’s useless!’ when they inevitably freed their teammates by sacrificing a valuable crystal, who, let’s be honest they’d have been better off without.
