Here is another episode of The Krypton Factor, this one is taken from the 1992 series and it'll be the last one that I'll upload for a while. Look, there's Tony Slattery!
@happyjonn9242 Also, Watching, Keeping Up Appearences, Second Thoughts, The Brittas Empire and 2 Point 4 Children...not all on Friday night but definitely the same era.
No def not just you but almost coz there's prob not many that can appreciate how cool it is. Especially at the time. I believe the same person also made the 15 to 1 theme too
More depressing, if you were older than two contestants of an episode's ages combined. Thankfully, I've not encountered that yet. But it's getting worryingly closer than I'd like it to be. That's the day you officially become old.
By far the hardest game show there has ever been... and incredibly clever for those that notice that each general knowledge question is derived from the previous question.
Kay Louise Kirkpatrick Ben Shepard did bring it back but it didn't last very long. That was around 2008. I like the Gordon Burns one the best although it was good when Ben Shepard did it, but I think it was better when Gordon Burns did it.
@@muhammadalieesaa3379 They killed that by removing yet another round in the 2010 series. They already had for the 2009 revival series, that had 5 rounds, although from 1977 to 1986 they had 5 rounds so may have been a nod to that. Narrowing it to 4 rounds was crap, and the assault course in 2010 was better and was almost as good as the old Holcombe Moor assault course! Better left in the past now I'm afraid
I really miss this show. This feels like a later one to me, I don't remember it being so scifi. How good was Janet though? I don't remember seeing someone winning so definitively when I was a kid.
Andrew you well and truly deserved your series win as you were sharp when it mattered and were like a friend to the other competitors. Absolutely outstanding. :D
I remember him being everywhere in early 90s! Bit depressing when you found out what happened to him. He burnt himself out from working, got addicted to cocaine and became a bit of a recluse for many years.
@@muhammadalieesaa3379 I wouldn't go that far but they're obv clever and quick with it. Let's not forget, before the televised episodes they had auditions, and the 36 best (more in earlier series) were who we saw compete on the televised show
18:35-18:43 During Training For The Assault Course The Contestants Were All Informed About Place Their Feet In The Water On The Zip-Line For Safety Reasons And This Replay Clearly Shows How Jackie Has Broken The Safety Rules & By NOT Placing His Feet Properly In The Water He Gained An Unfair Advantage Over Janet Who Did Place Her Feet Properly In The Water And As A Result The Army Has Issued A Time Penalty To Jackie Which Means Janet Is The Winner & Takes The 10 POINTS
Well Done Janet!! But why did they change the Rules? They used to tell the contestants to keep their feet out of the water for as long as possible! The guy would probably have caught her anyway.... Bet all those men hated getting beaten by a woman!
The presenter explained how it worked just before it started. They have three types of questions to answer: 1. How many unique letters were in a particular word (eg. "chance" has 5 unique letters - "c" "h" "a" "n" and "e." You don't count the second "c"). So 5 is the answer. 2. How many unique numbers were in a particular date (eg. "21st September." September is the 9th month so it becomes "21/09" which has 4 unique numbers - "2" "1" "0" and "9"). So 4 is the answer. 3. How many unique numbers were in a particular time (eg. "10 past 3" which is "03:10" in 24-hour clock time, and that has 3 unique numbers - "0" "1" and "3." You don't count the second "0"). So 3 is the answer.
8.48 That woman in the Yellow sure does know how to fly a Plane.... BUT BE HONEST. How many Pilots do you know that are Females??? I would not get in to a TAXI if it was been driven by a Woman
The memories as a kid... after having a bath then laying on the carpet in front of the TV watching this.
I did the same thing.. never at that age did I ever think kids like me all over the world doing the same thing :)
Lying, not laying: if you're laying, you're a chicken.

This ,Crystal maze, red dwarf , last of the summer wine = childhood😢
It's a banana...
Same
Yessssss 😎😎😎👍
On a Friday night after Knightmare and Fun house when school finished. I also remember watching allo' allo around the same time.
@happyjonn9242 Also, Watching, Keeping Up Appearences, Second Thoughts, The Brittas Empire and 2 Point 4 Children...not all on Friday night but definitely the same era.
Oh yes, we've all seen bits!! But none of us has ever gone the full distance.
so true i watched this back in the 90s and would never watched more than 10 minutes
I just saw that sketch and then went here. :)
@@me4901 Yes!
I've lasted the full distance!!
A Bit of Frye and Laurie.
I'm an American and knew that.
Bravo.
Is it just me... or did this show have the COOLEST MUSIC EVER?
I wish the guy wasn’t talking over it!
it's justyou
No def not just you but almost coz there's prob not many that can appreciate how cool it is. Especially at the time. I believe the same person also made the 15 to 1 theme too
He theme tune was produced by pop music band The art of noise !!
😎😎😎
Oh man. I used to love this show when I was younger. It was one of the best programs on at the time.
Bring this back exactly how it was!
They need to bring this back! Loved this as a lad.
Wow, I used to watch this as a kid. I am now significantly older that all the contestants were.
More depressing, if you were older than two contestants of an episode's ages combined. Thankfully, I've not encountered that yet. But it's getting worryingly closer than I'd like it to be. That's the day you officially become old.
Haha same!
Ha ha, yep, I'm 10-15 years older than this lot
Janet, if you are reading: WHAT a performance! 🙆♀️ 👏
Plus she was gorgeous back then
I bet she had to do a bit of aircraft pilot training as part of her job
@@PBL187 cracking bit of fluff 🙄
cheater.
@@PBL187she might well be gorgeous now too. She would still only be in her late 50’s/early 60’s.
Janet just slaughtered in this game, she just sat back and chilled in last round
This, Crystal Maze, Blockbusters and Catchphrase (Roy Walker) was my childhood!
Describing the mental agility round has exploded many brains trying to understand it
By far the hardest game show there has ever been... and incredibly clever for those that notice that each general knowledge question is derived from the previous question.
It was only the hardest because it switched between the body and the brain. Gladiators meets mastermind but with extra twists. Amazing show
Da police man crumble when him hear de word dread ye see
First guy treated the plane like a crop duster ,last guy stole the plane lol
i picture a very young, angry jim sterling watching this.
Loved watching this when i was a kid.
2 minutes into the video and I now understand that old Fry and Laurie sketch...
Bring back this show
No, don't ruin it anymore than 2009 and 10 did
I could never answer any of the questions. Not surprising but they were the hardest on any TV quiz!!
wish they would bring it back

Wtf is that from now?

Proved to myself how thick I am
I wouldn't worry. That's what happens when you get older.
the krypton factor family catchphrase and trival pursuit were my days on challenge
yes Janet you legend
Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Grange Hill, byker Grove and this is what brings me back as a school kid.
I really miss this show. This feels like a later one to me, I don't remember it being so scifi. How good was Janet though? I don't remember seeing someone winning so definitively when I was a kid.
I think I'm in love with Janet Morris
Andrew you well and truly deserved your series win as you were sharp when it mattered and were like a friend to the other competitors. Absolutely outstanding. :D
i bet Janet had some pre-programme-practice at landing the plane
Man Tony Slattery was a tart back then. In everything.
He said that himself.
I remember him being everywhere in early 90s! Bit depressing when you found out what happened to him. He burnt himself out from working, got addicted to cocaine and became a bit of a recluse for many years.
"Potato"
4!
Andrew from GCHQ. 😂😂
One of my favourites as a youngun
Wow nostalgic. And a spy from Cheltenham hahaha
Cool episode of this British TV quiz show Krypton Factor. The players are Janet, Jackie, Andrew, & Malcolm.
Don't think you would get away with letting a Woman go first and calling it a handicap these days.
Bring it back! I always remember it was followed by Doctor Who
48
That's an insane KF
That flight sim 😎
22:06 Worst remake of Bohemian Rhapaody ever!
LargeLeader Yes!!!!!!!!
Omg that is so funny.
Oh loved this show as kid. Was this & Crystal Maze.
There was always a copper and a civil servant lol. My monies on the copper coming last
Handicap system? What's that?
I can't seem to find Tony Slattery
Pleased to meet another gameshow contestant who has an account with youtube. Congratulations for winning this series mate!!
The typeface used in this series of 'THE KRYPTON FACTOR' was Insignia.
Jum Sterling says hi!
They've all got normal British names
wouldn't be allowed these days lol
You too!
The Art of Noise composed the theme tune of The Krypton Factor
Way to go janet.
Shame on Jackie for cheating.
Super clever
So you were the 1992 champion? pleased to meet you :D
I don't suppose you've got any more of the 1992 episodes, have you? I'm trying to find the ones that I was on (C3, C semi-final, final). Ta.
So there was you, David Spence and Martyn Buckley in that grand final. Who was the fourth grand finalist again?
They say television has been dumbed down, I don’t even understand the rules of the rules of the first round.
I asked for one of those flight sims as a child for Chrimbo.
I got an airfix Spitfire instead.
(Its a win btw)
Alan: If I don't make it... Will you see that Judy is taken care of?
I love the theme music. Pitty the art of noise never put it on one of thier albums
Art of Noise Beatbox is very similar to the theme tune, and Crusoe, is a reworked version of this theme. 🙂
That first one reminds me of Numberwang!
Still laughing at a 27 year old called Janet
Why is this not on dvd?!
How do they answer so fast on the first game?!
Jill Sandwich They must have the brain of Britain, I don't think I would last 5 minutes on this show.

High IQ! I got around 2 correct per contestant. I have average or slightly above average IQ. Just not quick enough sadly :(
Christ within 5minutes I’ve realised how thick i am
18:35-18:43 During Training For The Assault Course The Contestants Were All Informed About Place Their Feet In The Water On The Zip-Line For Safety Reasons
And This Replay Clearly Shows How Jackie Has Broken The Safety Rules & By NOT Placing His Feet Properly In The Water He Gained An Unfair Advantage Over Janet Who Did Place Her Feet Properly In The Water
And As A Result The Army Has Issued A Time Penalty To Jackie Which Means Janet Is The Winner & Takes The 10 POINTS
Why did they call this show the Krypton Factor?
tony and katie!!!!!!!! and janet!!!!!
Yeah, Krypton was brill in the early 90's. :D
Does anyone know what the typeface is that was used in this series?
It's Neville Brody's "Insignia" - originally designed for ARENA magazine. www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/insignia/
I didn't think Dog the Bounty Hunter was on in the nineties?
What are the rules
I scored 11 points on the first test, believe it or not?!
I want to find out what happens in Dead Ringer....
😂
Should may remake the bill
I wanted to be on this show but the winning combination of dyspraxia and being completely lacking any form of fitness twas not to be
Well Done Janet!! But why did they change the Rules? They used to tell the contestants to keep their feet out of the water for as long as possible! The guy would probably have caught her anyway.... Bet all those men hated getting beaten by a woman!
Safety measure for braking. It was a new rule for this season.
I shouldn't imagine they'd feel any shame about being beaten by someone who gives that kind of performance!
*"Bet all those men hated getting beaten by a woman!"* Fcking misandrist....
Janet Morris is the winner!!
Why was Janet allowed to go first in the assault course?
Because she's the only female
What.
Why were they answering 2,2,3,4,3,3 I don't get it?
