GamesMaster TV show - Series 1 retrospective

[azel]

I thought i would start a thread detailing the GamesMaster TV show, in chronological order. I have seen other posts on here suggesting something like this, and the episode guide compiled by Xenepp has been very helpful for original air dates and other info.

This thread will contain posts for each episode, a look at the challenges, reviews, celebrities, features, co-commentators, and the consoletation zone.

I hope this will become the most comprehensive retrospective on the TV show.
