Synopsis
A pair of teams compete to solve puzzles and problems in a deep cave. Only the better team can win...
A disused slate mine has now been converted to house adrenalin pursuits kind of place: there are chances to abseil, walk along tight ropes and rock faces, and trampolines. These existing facilities are used for the challenges in Y Siambr.
Challenges on the show include one where contestants find pieces of a jigsaw, then pass them to their team-mate who assembles the picture high up.
There's a perilous walk along a rock-face, and so many zip lines that The Krypton Factor is envious.
The winning team tries to escape from The Chamber, a series of skill, mental, and physical challenges against a tight time limit.
Aeron Pughe hosts the show with a dry wit, he "encourages" the teams and raises an eyebrow with us viewers. The enclosed space lends itself to some high-quality camera work, and every game is told clearly and precisely. It's made with great care, and fun to watch.
