An exciting looking press release has dropped suggesting that Zoe Ball and hilarious Release the Hounds wimp Ashley Banjo (also from street dance group Diversity) are the people fronting upcoming entertainment show Can’t Touch This.
I won’t repeat the release, you can read it here. The show essentially boils down to “touch the prize, win the prize.”
Things of note:
- Sue Perkins is providing the commentary. The last time Sue Perkins commentated on a physical gameshow it was Don’t Scare the Hare.
- It sounds very much like the sort of show that’s going in the old Saturday Total Wipeout slot, but it’s filmed in Belfast so likely will have slightly more stringent health and safety than Total Wipeout.
- Stellify Media is staffed by decent, Bother’s Bar approved people, and whilst this doesn’t guarantee success or even a good show, it’s likely that some thought will have gone into it.
From my experience of living in Belfast, health and safety is surprisingly lax
I mean, the Titanic was such a successful piece of Belfast manufacturing…
8 Out of 10 Cats not the only team to parody Countdown, of course – here’s an “alternative” version from Da Bungalow…!
Oh – about 1h16 for that – thought I’d linked to that time but posted as a big embedded video
