"Oh, what a shame, it looks like there's some holes in the bottom of the bucket." One of my all time favorite lines from Richard. It's the way he says it. Absolutely brilliant!

Richard O'Brien's Random conversations with the camera are the best haha oh and his harmonica playing

Richards chatting is hilarious. I can’t believe he in his 80s now!

"This is a horrible, horrible game that I love and I adore." Ain't that the truth!

Richard O'Brien - what a legend! Loved how he took the piss out of the contestants.

"Oh what a shame, it looks like theres some holes in the bottom of the bucket" OMG my childhood is flashing before my very eyes This was my fav show me & my older sis watched this religiously every week lol

I love it when the heads of teammates pop up through windows, bars, and curtains every time a contestant enters a room. It's just funny, I don't know why.

Slippery, revolving beam, holes in bucket and Richard still has the nerve to say "She's making heavy weather of this"

I really sympathise with the contestant, this is a sadistic game.

Cant believe Richard is now in his 70's

The Crystal maze - a huge huge studio of four time zones in an aircraft hangar in the 90s.

Richard isnt dead, he is alive and well and even voicing Phineas and Ferb's father on the disney channel show!

This was like watching a three legged rocking horse at the grand national

this game looks impossible! The holes in the bucket are just the ultimate kick in the teeth really aren't they?

"Can anyone see a better of way of doing this?" *sploosh*

Holes in the bucket...sinister lol

I feel that a lot of the games were invented to make a real fool of the contestants.

'...next time, you've gotta to cross it on a wheelchair!' Classic!

Feed the God was the most evil game on the show, love it! guaranteed to make an ass out of someone everytime.

"Meryl Streep playing Mumsy!" LOL

Like adding holes to the bottom of the bucket is by any means necessary

If you notice.....the tautness of the rope varied each time this was played. The more loose it was, the harder it was to cross.

I loved this show as a kid. Just watching some teams make a real ham-arse of the challenges, and finishing with only 1 crystal in the dome... :D

I watched all episodes a couple of weeks ago, this game was one of the hardest ever in TCM. A guy managed to complete it though!

"Hook it over your elbow. You're wet enough anyway, it doesn't matter if it spills on your suit" No shit Sherlock.

The best fail is when that Indian woman fell of the canoe before the games began. Priceless.

I love how her 'teammates' are just laughing their asses off at her throughout the whole game

When I was little i used to think they would die if they fell in the water or in a hole in these types of games... Ehh little brains

I think he's making heavy weather of that!

The most fiendish game utterly entertaining.

1:55 Richard struggles not to laugh at her. xD

I was watching this hardly paying attention then suddenly it became the funniest thing I've seen i started crying with laughter

This has got to be one of if not the cruelest game in the Crystal Maze.

It's a fairly simple game. Fill the bucket up. Place it at elbow's length to reduce sway. Wrap the loose rope around your fist until it tightens. Use your other hand to guide the tight rope along. Rinse and repeat.

this is amazing show , i start downloading all 6 seasons of The Crystal Maze

I love the Mary Whitehouse Experience skit on this show. It’s hilarious. “I had a hit west end musical, you know. I don’t have to put up with this sh*t” 🤣

Fill the bucket while you are on the ledge at the start. Before starting on the rolling log bridge, take up the slack ahead of you on the rope so that it is taut.

I don't know if I've missed something every time, but it's always seemed to me that there aren't any 'rules' in terms of the games - the easiest way you can do something is the best generally - and it seems that, if she was able to wade through with the water at about her waist, maybe she could have done that the whole time ? Just filled the bucket and waded, repeat, etc ? There seem to be a few cheats which people don't pick up on, I'm sure cheats would go unpunished if EVER used by anyone...

'somebody beautiful, like Elizabeth Taylor.' Too true, RIP.

What are you guys most looking forward to see on the very special edition of The Crystal Maze on Stand Up to Cancer next Sunday?

you can tell she has never been shown the ropes

That looks like such a fun game, I'd love to have a go! :D

She looks like Tin Tin

"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this:" Never choose a physical game in Aztec!

David Bowie playing the game and Michael Jackson there for moral support.

Surrounded by water but you have to cross a bridge to collect water........

I remember this one like it was yesterday. No joke, I literally pissed myself laughing then & am doing so now

ooohhh maaan its reminde me of my chiled hood thank you for posting this video

Poor woman!! Anyone of us would have endured the same fate!! Thats a challenge & a half!! 😖😫

"can anyone see an easier way of doing this?!!!!" Erm... yes.

childhood days remebered

This programme was relayed in star TV before 20 yrs

LoL, this one was on TV today. I don't think I've ever actually seen this game done.

The Crystal Maze Series should start again, its a best game series ever!!

1:57 Oh! Dear! He just fell in the water.

This is more like a torture chamber.

I just had a feeling it would be this one before i clicked on it.

0:42 I think you're making heavy weather of that 😂

Akhirnya saya ketemu game jadul saat nonton TV pertama kali di tahun 90an 🙏👍😁😁👍👍

The key to this one was basically just to leg it across the beam.

This is such a difficult challenge. I never witnessed anyone winning this

Richard was very charasmatic to say the the least on the maze Ed Tudor-Pole wasn't bad at presenting it but i think Richard was more succesfully because he added personaily to his role unlikey Edaward

The quality... it is so great...

The best host of the crystal maze irreplaceable and mumsy

Straddle the log…straight line.

Were there any rules to this challenge apart from "get the crystal"? Because I would've just gotten in the water and used that same water to fill the vessel that releases the crystal. No faffing with a wobbly bridge or red water or leaking baskets or ropes.

She got completely owned by that puzzle...

O my god remember my childhiid when i see this program.so memorable

I meant his career. The last part of your MSG confirms this. The man should be back doing mad stuff!

even taking a shortcut by walking through the water, it's still hard

I remember this from years ago!

Check out The Crystal Maze KZfaq channel for highlights & exclusives from The Crystal Maze TV Show...old and NEW. Stephen Merchant hosts the Stand Up To Cancer Special, coming to Channel 4 this October!

I remember one of this game when the woman fell and almost broke her back...twice! lol

She's got to be a teacher. Lol.

this was the best game show ever a loved richard o`brien

all that effort for a shot glass of liquid at the end. pathetic

SHE?!?!? WOW!!!! (watched this three times now and just noticed! lol)

She got baptised

"It moved!" WHAT?! Get me the President!

“As quick as you can” Yeah. Thanks love. Great advice. Why didn’t I fucking think of that?

Not once did he say she had to cross using the rope and rolling logs, haha.

@ 1.42 "can anyone see an easier way of doing this?" lol I thought her technique was pretty much spot on.

I love the design of these overalls! Looks super fun and sporty, the new ones are a bit too Orwellian for my taste with just the stripes.

Lisa must be in her 60s now... prob still chants her knees and hips have never been the same since the crystal maze hahaa.

I love richard...much better then Ed tudor pole, Like this if you think that ED CHEWED A POLE!! :)

Makes SAS who dares wins look like a day off

Poor Meryl! Still, at least the performance would be excellent.

She could have sat on the end of the pole right by the statue, and just filled the bucket with water from the pool....

oh the pain of laughing!!....

probably slow you down, plus you still need to pick yourself out of the water onto a tiny ledge

Akhirnya nemu jg acara ini yg plig gua demen jaman cilik 😭😭

Unbeatable show lasted in memories forever..

@keith23uk and i'm guessing the time it was completed was done the proper way - holding onto the rope and leaning outwards so it tenses on your weight, and then sidestepping along the log.

That's a really difficult game compounded by the fact there is a hole in the bottom of the bucket.

That looks impossible, she must be embarrassed.

I saw this one a few times... did anyone EVER get it? If I recall, didn't it also slowly leak out of the tube when it was poured into the god? Utterly brutal, I really don't think was at all possible to win this one between the leaky bucket, loose rope, multiple freely rotating logs and inevitable slippery wetness. Fun to watch though :)

That looked difficult, there's a lot of holes in the bottom.

this is a classic game

Hold the bucket from underneath, block (most of) the holes.

this is really easy to do. you place your back against the rope, brace against the wheels and hold the bucket in your hands.
