“I stand on the shoulders of giants like Les Dawson and Sir Terry Wogan but I’m hoping to put my own stamp on the fantastically nostalgic show.” “I struggle to remember the last time I laughed as much as when I was filming Blankety Blank – so when they asked if I’d be up for doing a series, I jumped at the chance, I’m just so pleased I get to be a part of it”, Bradley Walsh said. With lots of laughs and fun for the whole family to enjoy, viewers can also look forward to the return of the distinctive (and incredibly catchy) theme tune, as well as the return of the iconic Blankety Blank cheque book and pen, the BBC said. Last year’s Christmas special celebrity panel included Jimmy Carr, Danny Jones, Emilia Fox, Anita Rani, Sue Perkins and Amir Khan and saw 6.3 million viewers tuning in, making it the most watched Entertainment programme across all channels on Christmas Day. Made by Thames, a Fremantle label, Blankety Blank (10×35’) will once again be presented by Bradley Walsh as each episode sees a panel of six celebrities try to fill in the missing blanks over a series of rounds and help win some brilliant prizes for contestants. The announcement comes after the BBC filmed a one-off Christmas Special that aired in 2020 Blankety Blank "That’s one way of putting it! But it just goes to show, while there are some good prizes, the contestants apply for the experience of being part of an iconic show rather than to win a life-changing prize.Blankety Blank, the iconic gameshow which sees celebrities helping contestants by filling in the missing blanks, will return to Saturday nights on BBC One for a brand-new series. The prizes are notoriously quite…unique on Blankety Blank aren't they? They come from all walks of life and are each so unique, but the one thing they all want is a fun and memorable experience, and if they win a couple of prizes along the way (or a cheque book and pen), then that’s a bonus! "We have some brilliant contestants on the show this series. The contestants are real characters! Do you prefer working with celebrities or the general public? Parents may have to explain to their kids what a cheque book is though!" It’s genuinely a real honour to be able to bring it back, not only for the audience that remember it first time round, but for a whole new generation to enjoy it too. It’s a heritage show, and people have so many fond memories of the various iterations it’s had over the years. "I’ve been lucky enough to work in this business for many years, but Blankety Blank is one of the few shows that has been around longer than my face has been on screen. How does Blankety Blank differ from other shows that you’ve presented? There really are some fantastically funny moments this series." "I don’t! Have you not seen the show? Quite often we will laugh so much that the recording takes an awful lot longer than it should. When you get the giggles how do you maintain your professionalism? "Too many to mention, but I think a good celebrity guest on Blankety Blank is someone that leans into the silliness of the show and isn’t afraid to look a bit stupid on TV, while having fun along the way." We have a lot of new faces but also some old favourites like Brian Conley and Jimmy Carr."Īnd who was your favourite celebrity panellist? "I tell you what, we have such a variety of guests on each show from the world of TV, music, sport, and comedy.Names like Anton Du Beke, Lady Leshurr, Ellie Simmonds, Lawrence Chaney, Frank Skinner, Big Narstie and Judi Love to name but a few. Who are the celebrities taking part in this 2022 series?
