The Wall sees pairs of contestants answer questions that combine knowledge, strategy and luck that can either lead to colossal wins or heart breaking losses.

Legendary broadcaster Angela Rippon will read the questions for the six-part series.

With life-changing prizes on display, contestants won’t just require the correct answers, but also the right bounces and unflinching trust in one another.

The format was first broadcast in the USA on NBC in 2016 and has since been sold to 24 territories across the world. With the American version showing emotionally-charged moments between the contestants, it remains to be seen whether the same will happen on the UK version. 

“I’d never had a desire to host a gameshow before I saw this game,” said Danny Dyer.

“I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to help win the public some serious life-changing readies. I love it.”

“The Wall is an exciting, challenging and tense quiz where destinies dramatically change with the drop of a single ball,” added Kate Phillips, Controller of Entertainment Commissioning at BBC.

“Danny is an unforgettable and very unique host as he commands The Wall, roots for the contestants and hits our hearts and our funny bones.”
