Isn't this Show Now Called MXC or Most Extreme Elimination Challenge on Spike TV?

It's still called Takeshi's Castle but Craig Charles narrates it, i didn't know the footage was far back as the 80's.

I only saw one episode of the original Takeshi's Castle and it was a bonus feature on the MXC DVD. Hope to check out more and MXC is one of the funniest shows on TV.
