And without Ft. Boyard, we would have never had Crystal Maze (with Richard O'Brian, although Richard Ayoade is reasonable. That Tudor-Pole pillock can piss off).

I used to love the Crystal Maze as a kid. Richard O'brien is the only host as far as I'm concerned. I tried watching the Ayoade reboot and while he was a reasonably entertaining host it just wasn't the same. I think perhaps the Internet and the intervening years have reduced my capacity for being entertained by game shows.

The budget on the reboot with Ayoade is clearly very low as well. The games are less imaginative, and the sets feel more claustrophobic. It always feels like watching people play through a series of Crystal Maze-themed escape rooms rather than the actual show.

This is often the same with reboots in general no matter how good they are. Nothing can replicate the fuzzy glow of childhood memory.
Though give me a Knightmare reboot and I'm absolutely fucking in.

Always said that the bloke that sits the voiceover for come dine with me would be a good host. Even looks the past!
