Fort Boyard (1998)
Bring Back Leslie Grantham
Obviously some people cannot handle progression. After reading one person's opinion of Fort Boyard in comparison to The Crystal Maze, which I must add is still one of my favourites, I thought I'd add my own comments being of broader mind than their's.
Fort Boyard is a marvellous program. It is true that The Crystal Maze tested one's skills and brains. But after a number of years it was time to move on. Fort Boyard tests a person's courage and stamina, as well as their ability to work as a team, not to mention gives a far more satisfying prize.
On top of this Leslie Grantham gives by far the best performance as the presenter and far from being just a replica of Dirty Den displays his character's contempt for weakness and no hopers to perfection. And seeing as the theme is for Melinda Messenger to find a team capable of stealing the gold it follows suit that she should aid wherever possible to ensure her success.
So before anyone else decides to slander a classic program just because it threatens their pet favourite please watch it properly and learn the ins and outs before writing your opinions on it!
