Richard explains the rules of the Crystal Maze to a team of contestants in the Aztec Zone.

Only Richard could wear that jacket with that shirt collar and STILL look good.

Crossing the Amazon at the beginning of the game to get to the Aztec Zone. Richard was fond of telling the players to be careful of the crocodiles as they crossed the river in a little makeshift race against one another.

Telling stories while the players keep an eye on their teammates' progress.

This is yet another reason why the show did not live past the O'Brien era. Ed "ten-foot" Tudor-Pole lacked the eloquence and quick off the cuff humor that O'Brien possessed, and the shows creators found out too late that just as many people tuned in to see the show, as they did O'Brien.

Richard does a little math in the Medieval Zone. In the first series, Richard jokingly referred to Sandra Caron, who played the fortune teller in the zone, as Mumsy. Realizing that this could make one heck of a running joke, the next series she was billed as that, and the two often engaged in bantor back and forth, and Richard indulged audiences in endless stories about his mumsy, and dad, and Ralph the Butler. (Whom we never saw). During one series, Mumsy left and her replacement in the Maze was Ricky's Auntie Sabrina (portrayed by the same actress) even Richard's leaving was connected to his Mumsy. As he explained, she had fallen in love with a hippie new age biker named Duane, and was moving to the West Coast to be with him, and Richard was going with her, as a boy's place is at his mother's side.

Richard checks the time remaining in the game. There were small vials by each puzzle that contained a nasty looking green fluid, and this was how the time was told. (Well, that, and the earphone he had where they told him. ;-D)

The team runs down the Aztec path. All the zones were interconnected, and you could only get to them by going certain routes. To get to the Aztec Zone, for example, you had to cross the river and then go down the path you see above.
