The Wall To Return To BBC For Second Series

BBC One and Remarkable Television, part of Endemol Shine UK, have announced that Saturday night entertainment show, The Wall, will be returning to BBC One for a second series.

Hosted by EastEnders star Danny Dyer and voiced by TV legend Angela Rippon, The Wall is the ultimate combination of strategy, knowledge and luck.

The Wall, an original format created by SpringHill Entertainment and Andrew Glassman's Glassman Media in collaboration with Universal Television Alternative Studio, was first shown in the USA on NBC in 2016. The most travelled format of 2017 and 2018, The Wall is an international hit and has sold to 28 territories around the globe.

Dyer said: "I can't believe we're doing another series of The Wall. I can't wait to get stuck back in and meet these new contestants and hopefully make them very rich. Drop 'em!"

Kate Phillips, Controller of Entertainment Commissioning at BBC, said: "I know Danny and Angela had an absolute ball making series one of The Wall and it’s great to see how much BBC One viewers have enjoyed the ride. This wildly unpredictable format, or 'nutty old show' as Danny would say, has quickly become a Saturday night favourite for all ages, and I'm looking forward to more big drops, big shocks and big decisions in series two."
