After talking about it just a few days ago, Channel 4 have announced it’s making a return as a full series, first time since 1995, later this year, with Richard Ayoade!
It’ll be hard to live up to the original series, but given the lack of decent things on TV these days, I’m pretty chuffed this is finally given a revival Let’s get an OA team together
Great news! Hopefully it somewhat lives up to the original.
Bit annoyed Richard Ayoade will be presenting it though, as I just really don’t find him funny at all. Would’ve loved to have seen Stephan Merchant present it again!
Hah the annoying american you say. All I heard the whole time was some British douche wearing a leopard skin fucking coat and playing a harmonica!! Cmon we know which set of people are the real crazies. :giroud:

Stephen Merchant really suited it.
[/quote]I read somewhere that while he enjoyed doing the recent one off special, he wasn’t interested in doing it full time.
A4TT, you greatly unappreicate the importance Richard O’Brien (the presenter) had on that show He was always that eccentric, part of the show’s charm.
Thing I always enjoyed about this show, is some of the contestants really were something special…

Never heard of it.
When was it on before?
[/quote]It ran from 1990-1995 on Channel 4, so I guess you would’ve been too young to seen it. It’s been repeated loads since then though on Challenge Hugely popular show at the time.
The reboot for this, commenced last week apparently, though it seems they’re mostly celebrity specials for now. Talk about a contrast in guests on tomorrow’s show though, you have David Coulthard and Joey Essex
