Anyone else watch this on Challenge TV? It's a Japanese game show narrated by Craig Charles where Japanese nutters fight through a fortress with loads of giant games in to fight off against Takeshi Kitano (yes, from Battle Royale :D) and his guards at the end.

It's very funny and ironic as hardly anyone ever wins and the two that I've seen win won absolutely nothing. Anyone else watch it? If not, watch it when it's next on and add it on your Series Link :)

The giant potato rocks. He gets decked on a regular basis.

Perhaps it's the little kids version of Battle Royale. Instead of being sent off to an island to kill each other you just get your legs broken on skipping stones and your face rearranged on Bridge Ball. D

Tis funny, some of the games make no sense though.

I saw an episode where they had kids doing all the adult games, couldn't believe it. They didn't seem to care that they had 13 year olds doing that stepping stone game and going face first into a concrete slab.

Crazy Japs.

I love this show it's probably the funniest thing on TV at the moment in a warped sort of way. How can you not love a show where they place 50 kids in bags and their parents have to run around trying to find them. Never get that over here the RSPCC would be down on it in a flash.

God bless japan :D

It's good fun. Skipping Stones is pretty funny and Uphill Garden was a laugh when the guards dressed up as stuff like motorbikes and dragons.

24 is great, but the BBC have slightly ruined the format of the show by stretching a story that's supposed to be 24 hours long to over 20 weeks long. I like it, but not as much Tekeshi's castle right now.

I've seen it once or twice.
Was amusing, but it seemed to repetetive.
And it's no 24.
