Richard Hammond is going to be presenting our version of an Australian game show called Wipeout, re-branded as Total Wipeout for the British version to be shown on Saturday nights.
BBC controller of entertainment commissioning Elaine Bedell told Broadcast: “We were very keen to put Richard firstly on a BBC One show and secondly on Saturday nights, so it was a case of making sure we found the right [show] for him.”
The show sees 24 contestants competing to complete an assault course, the first four to finish the course than battle out by tackling a huge obstacle course to win of winning a cash prize.
