The Crystal Maze also suffered from dodgy edits. For example, Richard O'Brien's pieces to camera during games (you'd see the on screen clock jump by a few seconds), I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the odd game would get taken out of episodes and his end monologues would often be chopped mid sentence. I remember in the Prize Time era of Challenge (TV) Andy Crane making a reference to Richard being cut off half way through saying something.

No games were removed. The main edit which were there on Challenge TV from the beginning were the end monologues - in fact the first time I'd seen these in years was when the first 3 series were added to Britbox (I don't think they've added the other 3, sadly).

Unfortunately the Ed Tudor-Pole episodes were not shown for a while and when they were eventually re-acquired during the VMTV era they butchered them - forcing an additional break in abruptly and cutting the zone moves right down. I think the Christmas specials suffered similarly. There are a few games from these episodes where the in game clock jumps.
