Let's start with the good-old Takeshi's Castle

And as an extra, the full episode of Clive James from when he visited Japan to take part on the show. Really does show a decent amount about Tokyo back in the 80's. Wonder how much of what he showed still exists?

Ah Takeshi's Castle. WHAT a programme, what a programme. The course was bloody impossible to pass though! The show ran for 3 years, with over 100 episodes, each containing roughly 140 contestants per show - and only 9 people ever won >_<

In all fairness we were enjoying a show the other day, slightly jet-lagged, but it revolved around things falling off animals, was surreal and hilarious at the same time, following that was a show about horrid places people are renting all over Japan, really strange apartments above Lawsons etc.

• 27 competitions, each as a 3-hour show
• 2700 competitors
• 6 winners
