"Takeshi's Castle"

Anyone who's got cable will find ithard pressed to miss this golden plum on the Challenge TV tree. It's the most sadistic, cruel, humiliating, racists, sexist programme there is - and it's also the funniest thing I've seen for ages. In a nutshell, 100 crazy Japanese nutcases go about hurting themselves in the most degrading fashions imaginable. Picture if you will, riding a giant lizard rodeo whilst trying to hit a giant pink bat with a water pistol. That's one of the games. Lose and you're out forever! The best one is when they have to cross this wobbly bridge whilst they're pelted with rubber cannon balls. This bloke yesterday got hit in the back of the head, which caused his fdace to smack the edge of the bridge and he fell off. Ouch.

They had a kids special (more like "special kids") the other day...except they played the same adult-sized games as the adults. Those crazy Japs.

The best game on that show is Stepping Stones aka 'The Shin Shreader!'

Pure pain!

Best bit is one where they go into a maze, one by one.

Every single person opened the second door, only to run flat into they psycho masked men, who went 'RAAAAR!' and all the Japs went 'ARRRR!' and ran away, chased by two freaky people.

Hilarious.

I'm hoping they release it on DVD. just the best bits

Will it ever be on normal TV?

I love it, it's uplifting and humourous. crazy japs.

apart from the karaoke, and the final showdown.

they suck ..... really

I haven't seent it for months until today. It still makes me laugh but some of the new things are really crap. Overall the program is enjoyable but i have still only seen someone win it twice.
