During these challenges, Dominik was joined by a host of commentators. These included Derrick Lynch, Kirk Ewing, [[Julian Rignall]], Rik Henderson, Dave Perry, Tim Boone and Neil West amongst others. For the third series, [[Dexter Fletcher]] became the main presenter; this change was criticised by fans, who saw the new host as over-the-top, and too 'in-your-face'. To balance this, the production company dropped all other co-presenters and gave UK games champion [[Dave Perry]] a regular co-presenter slot on every episode. Fletcher was better known at the time for having played an American character called "Spike" in the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] drama series ''[[Press Gang]]''.
