ENTERTAINM­ENT

-

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.
