* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4GgXzoZ3mo This game]] from Series 1 is one of the most hilarious failures in the entire run. From the contestant falling in the water immediately upon reaching the far side of the beam, to her attempts to get the cage containing the crystal by ''throwing'' the pole with the hook at it, to her ''finally'' hooking the cage containing the crystal with 7 seconds left... only to drop it into the water (automatically forfeiting the crystal) and fall in herself immediately afterwards, to her teammate calling Richard a "horrible man" for locking her in and protesting that she was "almost out of the door", to which Richard replies, "She was in the water more than she was out of the door!", it is two minutes of pure comedy gold. For a time a clip of that game (the contestant dropping the cage into the water and falling in after it) even made it into the opening titles.

* Ed Tudor Pole's first appearance in a non-holiday special had him telling the contestants that if anyone did not make it out of the game before time runs out, they'd be locked in "for two months". In the same episode, he draws a ten-year-old girl's attention to a skeleton, saying "that's what happens if you get locked in". The girl's face is a sight to behold.

*** Unfortunately, the Futuristic zone didn't fare well for Rob as he was given a physical round in crossing five spinning planets without tuching the floor in three minutes to get the crystal. In EpicFail fashion, he barely made it to the ''second'' planet and chose to come back at 1:30. He went back to Planet #1 in ten seconds and spent the next minute struggling to get back to the stairs before falling to the floor gaining an ALIS.

* One contestant had to grab two crystals, one of which was in front of a mirror, and [[FailedASpotCheck failed to notice]] the crystal in front of him but tried and failed to grab the reflection, eventually giving up and returning with only one.
