The Crystal Maze – Specials
This season contains the Christmas Specials, one-off episodes where younger adventurers were able to traverse the Crystal Maze. Each episode was aired prior to the start of a new regular season, which provided a glimpse into the revised sets for each new series. Three episodes were hosted by Richard O'Brien, with the remaining two hosted by Ed Tudor-Pole.
