Contestants will put their design, originality and construction skills to the test, whether it is creating landmarks in miniature scale, to full-sized working vehicles. Each of their creations will be judged by experts from the toy-maker.

The teams will comprise of pairs of all ages and in each programme, the teams who impress the judges most will progress to the next round until the finale, where one pair will be crowned the winners.

The series will be made by Tuesday's Child East and has been commissioned for Channel 4 by Dom Bird, Head of Formats and Jilly Pearce, Formats Commissioning Editor.

Dom Bird, Head of Formats, said: "There a very few of us who haven't engaged with Lego bricks at some point in our lives, be it the youngest of children or the space scientists at NASA. This contest is the first of its kind on UK television and will recognise some of Britain's best and brightest amateur Lego builders, both young and old. We're excited to bring the most colourful competition on TV to a family audience."

Steph Harris, Executive Producer, added: "This playful new format demonstrates that Lego bricks are more than just a toy – or something to step on – and will appeal to the child in all of us, showcasing spectacular builds and inspire the next generation of artists, engineers, architects and builders."
