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.

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

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.

Why would they be showing the Covid inquiry?

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

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)?

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?
