The Crystal Maze is back and it's as epic as ever.
So far this year, we've seen a host of celebrities including Vicky Pattison, Louie Spence, Ore Oduba and Alex Brooker take on the Maze, with highlights including a spat between Stacey Solomon and her boyfriend Joe Swash and Joey Essex taking on the Planet Walk.
However, tonight (August 25) marked the first episode featuring us normal folk – civilians, if you will – and it was hilarious.
As ever, Digital Spy kept one eye over on social media to find out what viewers were talking about.
First of all, host Richard Ayoade – and his fetching pink suit – went down a treat.
Many were rather pleased the show was full of non-celebs and thought it was much better.
What to Read Next
The Watson family were pretty tough on each other, but the mother was the standout star who told one of her kids they were "crashing it" – we think this is a good thing.
So as for the fun bit – The Maze. The family went in with 5 crystals totalling 25 seconds and ended up with 51 gold tokens. Though viewers were a bit baffled by the prize of a York dungeons trip.
The Crystal Maze returns next Friday (September 1) at 8pm on Channel 4.
