The Crystal Maze is set to return to our screens for a one-off special, 21 years after it was axed.

Channel 4 is looking to bring back the classic game show as part of the Stand Up To Cancer fundraising event in October.

Reports have suggested former Doctor Who star David Tennant will host the show, but it is understood that this is not the case.

The problem-solving show – which saw contestants taking part in a series of challenges in order to win “time crystals” – ran from 1990 to 1995.

It drew up to 6 million viewers at the height of its success.

The programme was originally presented by Richard O’Brien, with Ed Tudor-Pole taking over for the final two series.

A spokesman for Channel 4 said: “Channel 4 is looking at a special Crystal Maze for Stand Up To Cancer.”
