The Takeshi 2012 campaign has been set up in the hope of finally bringing about a brand new series of Takeshi's Castle on Challenge.

2012 will mark the tenth anniversary of Takeshi's Castle on Challenge (UK).

As you may know, the UK series ended production in 2003, with the final new episode airing on 1st January 2004. The same old episodes have been constantly repeated since.

Takeshi has become one of the most popular Challenge series ever. Even after 8 years (as of 2010) it has still managed to reach the top 10 highest viewed shows a week.

Over the years since Takeshi has finished, Challenge have been asked numerous times if they could make a new series. The reply is always that they "only cut talking from the episodes". However, we know there are numerous unseen (cut) games in the UK series.

We have planned out a seven episode series, to hopefully show Challenge/Black Mole Productions that a new series is possible. It would be made up of three original episodes, never before used, and four episodes comprising of games previously cut from the UK series.

If you're a fan of Takeshi's Castle and would like to finally see a new series, please take a minute to sign the petition. With enough support behind it, we might finally be able to convince the heads of Challenge to commission a new series of one of their most popular shows in time for its tenth anniversary.
