Richard Ayoade was on top form during Friday's (September 29) edition of The Crystal Maze with the arrival of team Well Read and Underfed – a group of young lads who just wouldn't listen to him.

Now, things got off to a pretty shaky start, with the lads struggling to get going and haemorrhaging crystals left and right, but they eventually found their feet and got to grips with the challenges.

Being as the group were quite young, there was a bit of discussion around their ability to even qualify for the show (this might be just because we're all super old now).

Though, when they did get into trouble during the tasks, the helpful host was literally telling them what to do, but would they listen? Of course not.

Still, Well Read and Underfed managed to win seven crystals, which equates to 35 seconds in the dome – and they did incredibly well. They grabbed 181 gold tokens and 72 silver, which left them with 109 tokens in total.

That won them the top prize of a tandem skydive, which some looked a little uneasy about. Turns out they were right to...

The Crystal Maze continues next Friday (October 6) at 9pm on Channel 4.
