BBC Announces “Picture Slam” New Saturday Night Quiz with Alan Carr
The BBC have announced a new prime time Saturday night quiz show called “Picture Slam” that will be hosted by Alan Carr.
In Picture Slam, three groups will compete for cash by guessing the answers to a series of photographs. For the biggest payout, contestants must correctly identify every image in the Picture Slam.
Is it possible to distinguish between the Eiffel Tower and the Blackpool Tower in this fast-paced game? You know your Buckingham Palace from your Crystal Palace, but do you know your Victoria Beckham from your Victoria Sponge? In order to earn up to £10,000 over the course of four exciting rounds, competitors will need to know a little bit about everything.
Two-person teams will compete against the clock to correctly identify pictures on a board in each round. When they fill in every square with the right answers in a “Picture Slam,” they get a bonus. Only the winning team gets to keep their savings, and if they find all the necessary pictures, they win the prize.
Comedian and TV presenter Alan Carr says: “Who doesn’t love a good quiz? When I found out the BBC wanted little old me to present Picture Slam I jumped at the chance! I don’t know if I would be any good at the quiz, but luckily I don’t have to play it!”
Ed De Burgh and Ben Shephard, Executive Producers for Triple Brew Media say: “We are super excited to bring this format to the BBC, Alan is the perfect fit for a game that will have the whole family shouting at the TV. It’s fun and addictive and appeals to viewers of all ages, who will be able to play along at home every Saturday night.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment for the BBC says: “Picture Slam is a fast paced Saturday night play along quiz that requires contestants to be fast thinking and fast acting which results in loads of laugh out loud moments, making the quick-witted Alan Carr our perfect ringmaster!”
More details about a premiere date will be shared at a later date.

The Executive Producers are Julie Kelling, Ed De Burgh and Ben Shephard for Triple Brew Media and Toby Stevens for OMG Scotland. Adeel Amini is the Series producer.
