Hi there! When Challenge took up producing a new series they wanted to start from "scratch" with their own take on the series. Yes, Leslie was indeed busy with Eastenders at this point. Melinda was pregnant with her 3rd Child and i'm not sure about Geoffrey. Challenge also had a very small budget for the 4th series so probably couldn't have afforded the orginal cast anyway!
Thanks for your comment! I didn't enjoy the Challenge series as much either. it's quite funny as if you watch closly at 40 seconds of the shot looking down at the spead boat, you can clearly see Melinda on it with her blond hair! he he
dam. this was the best show when it was on. shame thay stopped making them. its also a shame that challenge only show this series not the old one with leslie graham and melinda messanger. I do like tom baker in the new one though.
five should bring fort boyard back (uk) (with a different presenter to jodie, someone off eastenders or something to do boyard and not someone as weird as the captain)
I didn't really like the change of the presenters and cast. Even though Tom Baker is my favourite Time Lord in Doctor Who, I prefer Geoffrey Bayldon in the Watch Tower. Leslie Grantham was badass as Boyard, Chris Ellison didn't even come close. And I used to fancy Melinda Messenger (sorry Jodie Penfold).
childhood
Ooh.. memories

My favorite yrs of this game(French version i think) was 1990-1999 with an exellent actor Patrice Laffont as Maître du fort.

Cool! It's the same music as in the swedish show. Is it the same in all countries?
I remember fort boyard well, the good ol' days. Any chance you could post some of the episodes here?
What is this? I watched the Quebec version as a kid!

Every country, except for Germany, who insisted on making their own. It's can't compare to this one, really.
