A UK version of Fort Boyard was eventually made by Channel 5, long after Channel 4 ended The Crystal Maze.

It was filmed on a very large set, originally at H Stage in Shepperton Studios, but in later series at an adapted aircraft hangar named Aces High Studios, at North Weald Airfield in Essex. As a result, the show ended up using a concept similar to Fort Boyard, but was substantially different in presentation and style. Originally, Chatsworth Television intended to make a British version of the French show Fort Boyard, but when it became clear that the fort would not be available at the time of the pilot show, Fort Boyard's creator Jacques Antoine was consulted about developing an alternative format that could be shot elsewhere.

However, the unavailability of the French show's set (a real fort in the middle of the sea), led Antoine to reinvent the show using themed zones as a means to keep the show visually fresh. The show was originally intended to be a British remake of the French programme Fort Boyard, devised by Jacques Antoine. Each show was one hour long, including commercial breaks. There was one series per year, with the first four series presented by Richard O'Brien and the final two by Ed Tudor-Pole, who made his debut in the 1993 Christmas special. The Crystal Maze was a British game show, produced by Chatsworth Television and shown on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom between 15 February 1990 and 10 August 1995.
