The Wall is described as “the ultimate combination of strategy and knowledge” and comes from the makers behind shows like Pointless and The £100k Drop.

What’s the show?

The programme will be hosted by actor and presenter Danny Dyer, and questions will be voiced by TV legend Angela Rippon.

The actual details of the show are still a bit of the mystery, but the BBC says that The Wall is “wildly unpredictable with heart stopping jeopardy” and that it can “change people’s lives in an instant.”

The casting call says, “In this game, pairs need the right answers, the right bounces, and cast-iron trust in one another to win a life-changing cash prize.”

- “Tell us an interesting fact about yourself (hobbies, party trick, hidden talent etc)”

- Your strongest and weakest areas of general knowledge

- “Do you have a specialty subject? If so, what is it and why? (e.g. I know a lot about America, I know all the names of the states because I have travelled across the US three times)”

- “What is a “life-changing” amount of money to you and what would you do with it?”

The application form also asks for your prior occupations and educational qualifications.

You’ll need to fill out details for your team mate, too, including their name, age, relationship to you and how you two get along.

“Feel free to give both positive (kind, funny, generous) and negative aspects (annoying habits, mannerisms, quirks etc),” the application says.
