Thought they might bring that back given the upcoming revival?
Yes, they had it on quite a bit in the 00s. I remember seeing it on Virgin 1 around the time Sky 1 were launching their new series, still in the thick of the Sky/VM dispute, and they were making a thing of it. I presume it was on Challenge around the same time too although I had neither Sky nor VM at that time so couldn't tell you with certainty.
They also had it for a period in the Sky era, I think originally in a weekend teatime slot and then subsequent repeats in less prime slots. I don't really know that the strategy of putting the old/original version of a returning series on has ever really yielded much for Challenge to be honest.
