C4, 9pm This is becoming a bit of a weekly must-see entertainment fix. We’re not sure whether it’s simply because it’s nostalgic, but the multi-layered game combined with host Richard Ayoade’s unrelenting sarcasm is highly watchable.
“These people call themselves celebrities,” says Richard scathingly, introducing this week’s competitors.
We have the team captain, presenter Andrea McLean, reality star Spencer Matthews, comedian Tom Allen, presenter Stacey Solomon and actor/presenter Joe Swash.
As ever, their hopes are high and the Maze Master’s expectations are low.
But we learn some fun facts. Did you know Stacey used to work in a fish and chip shop called Oh My Cod? And, more bizarrely, Joe refuses to wear pants when he’s abroad.
Anyway, back to the game and there’s a riddle involving peppers, aubergines and bananas that leaves them all looking perplexed. Watch out for Jessica Hynes in a cameo as a knight.
And then enjoy it as they generally run around the maze screeching and high-fiving, all the while trying to pull off the grey jumpsuit look – and that’s another impossible task.
