Reluctantly saw some of the Takeshi's Castle rebooted last Friday & it was bad, if not worse than I'd imagined!
The running commentary is poor & bears no context nor does it fit with the situation, and even go as far as insulting some of the contestants.
EG: The contestants go into a door to go in some cable cart down a hill, before they went in the contestants were saying something, and what did D&D think would be funny to say over? "Oh she said chicken chow mein" "Pasta sauce" Really???? What the hell has that got to do with the situation.
And the worst thing about it all, they keep refering to the General as General Ta-lee & not General Lee who we all know & love (yes his real name is Ta-lee but thats not the point).

I'm now watching Rebooted for the first time.
Why on earth are the games being rushed through so much?
At the start of the show it's stated "you'll see previously un-aired footage cut from the UK edit", yet all I notice is them trying to cram more games into the 30 minute slot.
As Matty said, the commentary really doesn't fit in and their attempts at humour seem to still be at CBBC standards.
Also what's the point of letting us hear some of the Japanese commentary if they're just to say "exactly" after it?
The only thing making this watch-able is seeing the injuries that haven't been aired here before.
