The version of the theme for the 2014 reboot was magnificent. Great titles too.

I always thought the original Bontempi organ version was a bit crappy.

Even Doctor Who wasn't HD until 2009. If they weren't making international export drama in HD, it makes little sense for them to do so for a gameshow that'll only air in the UK.

I forgot how epic the intro for the reboot of 15-to-1 was. Shame that Sandi Toksvig is in a bit of poor health nowadays as I don't see it returning either, but if it does return, I hope they can find another great host for such a simple game show.

London Lite was talking about the Challenge logo, when comparing Challenge SD and Challenge HD not The Weakest Link.

RE: Challenge TV - London Lite - 30-11-2023

There is one show that went out in HD after I compared HD/SD with the Weakest Link.

The Chase. I casted from my Samsung Phone to the Nvidia Shield and then used the Sky Stream Puck. Full HD on Samsung TV Plus, downscaled on Sky Stream.

So at the moment, the only outlet that has Challenge in HD is Samsung TV Plus, but it's so much easier to watch Challenge on Sky Stream unless you have a Samsung Smart TV. Incidentally there were ads on Samsung TV Plus rather than the holding caption shown earlier in the thread.

Bridge of Lies currently going out on Challenge right now.

RE: Challenge TV - Joe - 09-12-2023

Why would they be showing the Covid inquiry?

RE: Challenge TV - Gary Baldy - 10-12-2023

Was Bridge of Lies just a one-off airing? Can’t find it in any listings for Challenge for the next week.

RE: Challenge TV - JAS84 - 10-12-2023

Yeah, the timeslot is supposed to be Bullseye according to next week's schedule. Maybe the schedules are going to be updated last minute (it's already too late for the print magazines of course)?

RE: Challenge TV - Juicy Joe - 13-12-2023

Is The Crystal Maze only making an appearance for 1 week (next week) at 5am? There's no sign of it in the 2 wk TV listings over Christmas and New Year. Extremely strange scheduling?
