Editing Craig Charles (section)

=== ''Takeshi's Castle'' ===
Charles provided the English [[voice-over]] commentary for the [[Challenge (TV channel)|Challenge]] (2002–04) rebroadcast of the popular game show ''[[Takeshi's Castle#United Kingdom|Takeshi's Castle]]'', originally by [[Tokyo Broadcasting System]] in Japan. In each episode, between 100 and 142 contestants attempted to pass a series of wacky and near-impossible physical challenges to reach the Show Down at the castle against Japanese actor [[Takeshi Kitano]] for a chance to win large cash prizes. Charles co-wrote the programme and commentated throughout all 122 episodes of the four series, and also some special and "best of" episodes. He provided comedy insights into the contestants' abilities, which were designed to appeal to adult audiences, as well as younger viewers – and also coined the term "Keshi Heads" to describe fans of the show. A 2013 reboot narrated by [[Dick and Dom]] was not as well received.<ref>{{cite news |last=Warner |first=Sam |title=Takeshi's Castle is returning to UK television, but Craig Charles will be replaced as commentator |url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a839650/takeshis-castle-returning-without-craig-charles/ |access-date=20 October 2020 |publisher=Digital Spy |date=3 October 2017}}</ref>
