BBC Revives Hole in the Wall With Alison Hammond as Host

Filming is scheduled for later this year ahead of a 2026 premiere, reinforcing the BBC’s family-focused entertainment lineup.

Overview

  • The BBC greenlit the full series following a pilot earlier this year that tested its celebrity challenge format.
  • Alison Hammond will host the revival after impressing executives with her energetic performance in the trial episode.
  • The programme revives the Japanese Brain Wall concept and tasks celebrities with contorting through moving wall cut-outs to avoid falling into water.
  • Two teams of television personalities will compete each week for a £10,000 prize to be donated to their chosen charity.
  • The original series aired from 2008 to 2009 under hosts Dale Winton and later Anton Du Beke.
