Not only is the Crystal Maze revival you've been dreaming about apparently in the works - but its new host is a bonafide Time Lord.
21 years after The Crystal Maze signed off, Channel 4 is plotting to bring it back for a star-studded special potentially hosted by Doctor Who's David Tennant (via The Sun).

The Crystal Maze is initially being eyed as a one-off special for Stand Up To Cancer – with, reportedly, the possibility of a full series if ratings are strong enough.
Tennant's involvement is not yet a done deal – according to the newspaper – although his mastery of the TARDIS definitely has prepared him to handle those time crystals.
Digital Spy has reached out to Tennant's representatives, and a C4 spokesperson told us: "Channel 4 is looking at a special Crystal Maze for Stand Up To Cancer."
What to Read Next
While it's been decades since The Crystal Maze originally aired on Channel 4, an Indiegogo-funded live attraction based on the game show opened in north London this past spring.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show's Richard O'Brien hosted The Crystal Maze when it was regularly pulling 4 to 6 million viewers. He was later replaced by Ed Tudor-Pole.
