2012 will mark the tenth anniversary of Takeshi's Castle on Challenge (UK).
As you may know, the UK series ended production in 2003, with the final new episode airing on 1st January 2004. The same old episodes have been constantly repeated since.
We have planned out a seven episode series (see below), to hopefully show Challenge/Black Mole Productions that a new series is possible. It would be made up of three original episodes, never before used, and four episodes comprising of games previously cut from the UK series.
If you're a fan of Takeshi's Castle and would like to finally see a new series, please take a minute to sign the petition. With enough support behind it, we might finally be able to convince the heads of Challenge to commission a new series of one of their most popular shows in time for it's tenth anniversary.
Possible Series 5:
Using games previously cut from Challenge episodes; we have put together four special "Unseen" episodes, and three clip shows, which are based on original Japanese episodes never used in the UK series before.
Episode 1 (Reunion/Clip Show)(Japanese Episode 101) After no new episode for so many years, Takeshi and Tani decide to meet up to reminisce, and try to forget their differences. However, it goes wrong...
