    Oh dear god. :rolleyes:

    Does it really have a fan base? Could it not be discussed under Arts -> Television.

    I don't. I have seen a few episodes, yes it is funny but it can be discussed under Television as Rabies as already stated.

    nothing better than turning on the TV at the end of a hard days work to find dozens of Japanese people badly hurting themselves in the name of fun. It's quite possible to laugh at that show until one's lungs explode.

    It's on Challenge I think which is on Sky Digital. Good show but watch one and you've pretty much seen the series.

    The Canadian version of it is infinitely funnier then the European version. They completely discard the soundtrack and voice over the entire thing again , making it up as they go along. I had to stop watching it because laughing so hard hurt my leg!

    It is a good show but as Amp says, seen one and you pretty much have seen all of them.... have they EVER succeeded in storming the castle? They always get obliterated at the end as far as I can see...

    I think I saw it once where they got through, but maybe I imagined that.

    Craig Charles just isn't funny on the voice overs.

    Craig Charles is rarely funny on anything but Red Dwarf and even then its often the supporting cast making him look good.

    It's not like there are going to be any more made. It's what, 15 years since they stopped making it?

    Which Takeshi's Castle character are you?

    Watching that show makes me want to beat Craig Charles into a wimpering wreck. It is funny though, but not big enough for its own board.

    They did storm the castle once, and then the next week they switched roles - the monsters and Takeshi's soldiers had to storm it with the contestants trying to keep them out.
