The "toughest" challenge on television is making a comeback! Yes, the Krypton Factor is being revived by ITV. What a brilliant decision by the channel that has given us "Dancing on Ice", "Loose Women" and Jeremy Kyle. Well done. That makes three things worth watching on ITV now - TV Burp, You've Been Framed and now the Krypton Factor.
Unfortunately, "legendary hell-raiser" Gordon Burns doesn't look like he will be given the gig. But I look forward to it all the same - I just hope they stay true to the original format and do not try and "modernise" it - and the last thing we need is a pantomime nasty host.
As a reminder to all those who can not think back as far as 1995 when it was last shown, here is what The Krypton Factor was all about:
Legendary hell-raiser Gordon Burns put four contestants through "the ultimate mental and physical tests" to find out who was the UK Superperson of whichever year - and there were 18 series!See UKGameshows for the full run down!
Whilst the structure of the rounds was tinkered with over the years, the main rounds were Mental Agility, Response, Intelligence, Observation, Physical Ability and General Knowledge.
