The BBC are bringing Blankety Blank back this year after the Christmas special last year.

Personally a bit suprised they're making a full series out of this. I'm personally too young to remember old BB and although Bradley was good (when isn't he) I didn't think there was anything great about the format - to me it felt quite dated. The special rated well with 5m IIRC but that's not necessarily demonstrative of how a series would do since one off viewers are likely to be higher.

Agree - it wasn't very good, especially in comparison to the ITV pilot a few years back with David Walliams, but anything that is a mediocre hit on BBC1 seems to earn itself a place on Christmas Day for a decade.

I assume it'll land on Saturday nights, possibly in a favourable post-Strictly slot for the first part of it's series before Michael McIntyre returns (either with The Wheel or The Big Show) in November.
