I wish they'd give Fort Boyard another shot in the UK I miss this show even now 5 years later, this time though it has to be on a terrestrial channel so that we actually know to watch it :)
Also Grundly & Thames TV where part of Fremantle Media. Fremantle should release seasons 1 to 4 on DVD if we can get an online petition sorted out and a Facebook campaign going. I've got a few episodes on VHS which I've transfered to DVD but I recorded them in LP and we had to get a new video recorder when the one I used to record died and the picture is bouncy and the stereo sound is lost. I recorded parts of seasons 2 and 3. I didn't get the chance to record season 4 for some reason.
I loved Fort Boyard when it was on Five. If seasons 1 to 4 have not already been deleted from the Archives, they deserve a repeat on Virgin 1 on Freeview. Dave (part of UK TV) are well known for their Top Gear repeats and they recently aired Robot Wars Extreem in the summer, it might be worth asking them to get the rights.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment! I have loads of the shows on tape but non currently on my PC. I've actually just come back from France yesterday and went out to see the fort on Sunday so will get a video up of that soon. If i get some space time i'll see about putting up an episode. FTN are owned by Flextech who own Challenge who commissioned Series 5 of FB in 03. No one currently ownes the rights of FB series 1-4 made by Grundy and Thames TV. Someone might pick up the rights again one day :)
@Footbalcrazychocomad Yeah i agree...they should bring it back to the UK now as it's been 8 years since the Challenge TV series was filmed! Especially considering they have now changed the format and countries are have returned in 2010 including Germany and Sweden!
the swedish version are best, i think ;D there is about 4 different versions of this series, but all is recorded at the same place :D only in swedish the series is named "Fångarna På Fortet", which means "Prisoners Of The Fort"
@TheCbbconchoice Series 1 had 12 in total, Series 2, 3 & 4 15 episodes each in total and Series 5 (Challenge) 20. I remember reading it somewhere. I saw all the eps you uploaded so far :) Also saw 2 others from Series 1 a few years ago on Challenge and neither have been the ones you uploaded so far. Just to let you know :)
there was another series after that challenge made FIVE should totaly bring it back i think it'll attract a bigger audience now and the fort is meant to be more film as the pumped a huge amount of money into for there own series
This show should be back on ordinary telly with new English TV Presenters. I don't think they do Fort Boyard in English accent anymore. It mostly done in Franch now probably because its in France
The only problem with Challange is that they only air the episodes with Jodie Penfold. Those are the worst episodes. Leslie Grantham is the ONLY Boyard
@ccroft2003 I hated Leslie Grantham He used to make me cry He used to scare me He use to give me the creeps I liked the show but I liked the opposite presenters to most people
@BringbackBoyardUK I agree, the new show is just awful. They got rid of this epic theme tune and the new presenters are bad (the American guy's voice is especially annoying).
@Footbalcrazychocomad No way! Melinda was much better than Jodie. She was an awful presenter, totally un-natural and the show had such an obviously cut budget compared to the Channel 5 series..
New episodes of Fort Boyard in Norway! :) I am happy to see this show again! Not seen it since in the late 90s.
I love Fort Boyard! It was on yesterday at 7am on challange!
Fort Boyard is best ever game show
LESLIE GRANTHAM WAS THE BEST BOYARD! He made this show awsome!
I wish they'd give Fort Boyard another shot in the UK I miss this show even now 5 years later, this time though it has to be on a terrestrial channel so that we actually know to watch it :)
@MrPetrolhead09 I loved this show. I really hope it comes back one day. I can't believe it's been axed 10 years next year...! :(

i really wish they would show this series again. i don't mind the new one but i prefer this one

R.I.P Leslie Grantham
Five should bring Fort Boyard back!!! (uk)
the swedish version are best, i think ;D there is about 4 different versions of this series, but all is recorded at the same place :D only in swedish the series is named "Fångarna På Fortet", which means "Prisoners Of The Fort"
What were the execs at channel 5 thinking or what were they on when they axed such a great show
@TheCbbconchoice 6? There is 8 more isn't there? I thought Series 1 had 12 episodes.
Agreed
@TheCbbconchoice Series 1 had 12 in total, Series 2, 3 & 4 15 episodes each in total and Series 5 (Challenge) 20. I remember reading it somewhere.

Got the intro to Series 2 of this, where they arrived by speedboat and hauled up the gate?
there was another series after that challenge made FIVE should totaly bring it back i think it'll attract a bigger audience now and the fort is meant to be more film as the pumped a huge amount of money into for there own series

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH
Unfortunately no, no-where on the internet at least. However Virgin 1 and Challenge tv do show repeats every now and again. . .
This show should be back on ordinary telly with new English TV Presenters.
I don't think they do Fort Boyard in English accent anymore.
It mostly done in Franch now probably because its in France
I'm from Oldham
A youtube channel called 'TheCbbconchoice' has uploaded the first 4 episodes of Series 1 so far! :) I bet more will be uploaded! :)
Yeah without Boyards computer at the start.
The only problem with Challange is that they only air the episodes with Jodie Penfold. Those are the worst episodes. Leslie Grantham is the ONLY Boyard
@ccroft2003 I hated Leslie Grantham
He used to make me cry
He used to scare me
He use to give me the creeps
I liked the show but I liked the opposite presenters to most people
@Rockerboytom i liked jodie a bit better.
but i definitely hated leslie grantham
i hate the ones with that jody penfold
she spends most of the time flirting with the blokes and pretending shes part of the team
@BringbackBoyardUK I agree, the new show is just awful. They got rid of this epic theme tune and the new presenters are bad (the American guy's voice is especially annoying).
