The BBC is reportedly piloting a revival of the wacky game show Hole In The Wall, with This Morning’s Alison Hammond as the potential host, according to The Sun newspaper.
Here’s the Lowdown: Hole In The Wall, which originally aired for two series on BBC One, featured celebrity teams contorting themselves to fit through oddly-shaped holes in a moving wall. Dale Winton initially hosted, followed by Anton Du Beke. The BBC is now testing a new version.
What This Means Now: If the pilot is successful, Hole In The Wall could return to UK screens. Alison Hammond’s potential involvement suggests a fun, light-hearted approach, aligning with her work on This Morning and Bake Off.
The Bigger Picture: This move indicates the BBC’s continued interest in reviving classic game show formats. The choice of Alison Hammond, one of UK TV’s most sought after presenters, signals an attempt to attract a broad audience. The success of the show originally is the main reason that the BBC is looking at it once more.
