BBC One has a brand new prime time game show coming to our TV screens, hosted by Danny Dyer and called The Wall.

The Wall is described as “the ultimate combination of strategy and knowledge” and comes from the makers behind shows like Pointless and The £100k Drop.

The programme will be hosted by actor and presenter Danny Dyer, and questions will be voiced by TV legend Angela Rippon.

The actual details of the show are still a bit of the mystery, but the BBC says that The Wall is “wildly unpredictable with heart stopping jeopardy” and that it can “change people’s lives in an instant.”

The casting call says, “In this game, pairs need the right answers, the right bounces, and cast-iron trust in one another to win a life-changing cash prize.”
