I loved this final! Lots of shocks and lots of great moments. Tim was one of my 5 picks to win, though I must say I was bummed when Paul Allen failed. But OMG TIM LEGIT SCARED ME ON HIS RUN!!!

Care to elaborate on this? Heard from some competitors that the buzzer didn't actually stop the timer and so the siren went off and people thought he failed. I was wondering why the camera work was so weird. They didn't zoom-in on him enough, on the final stage, when they should have. I had a difficult time figuring out where he was near the end. The buzzer not being connected to the timer is just like how ANW used to be, or still is. Despite all that, it was exciting.

Do we have any idea on ratings for this series? We know the numbers for all the others but couldn't find anything for this year...

A most satisfying final all in all, I hope they line up a season 6, with some slightly more testing time limits for the earlier stages to throttle back the insane amount of clowning around, at least from the semi final stages

I just hope they add a prize. Total victory should be worth something? 50k even? I'm sure they can budget something like that.

Agreed, I didnt realise there was no financial reward, thats not right It would also explain a little why many of the competitors didnt take it too seriously, I wonder if they would with a nice juicy paycheck at the end

A heads-up on series 6:
The show has still not been officially confirmed, however you can register your interest for the next series. The deadline is the end of August meaning it looks like filming will NOT take place in August as usual, and if the series is confirmed, it will most likely film later in the year (not sure if this will affect the air date because there was an 8 month gap between taping and broadcast last series so there's plenty of time).

New deadline for registration for series 6: Tuesday 31st December 2019 at 23:59. After this date all who have registered will be invited to create an application if the series is confirmed. As a result, any filming for this series will happen in 2020, again subject to the confirmation.

Ok...
So NWUK has disappeared from ITV's beontv website, at first I thought it may have received the Wipeout extreme treatment, but...
Kammy's twitter has saved the day:

It was obvious that the show had entered development hell. Ever since the show missed its normal filming date in Summer 2019, I was sceptical that a sixth season would ever see the light of day. I reaaaally hope the show gets picked up by another channel, but even that seems HIGHLY unlikely.
The show was not cheap to produce by any stretch of the imagination, and it's likely that any existing assets would not make the jump to a "rebooted" version...
The BBC is a long shot, as they tend to make their own stuff rather than buying existing licenses.
Channel 4 could potentially work, and have the resources, but already have quite a few gameshows on their slate.
Challenge clearly loves Ninja Warrior, but exclusively airs reruns of other shows, and likely doesn't have the resources to produce an original season.
If a juggernaut like ITV (who air some of Britain's biggest shows like Britain's Got Talent, X-Factor, I'm a Celeb etc.) couldn't make NWUK work from a budget/viewership/money standpoint, it does not bode well for the future.
