New Series Pull from British TV Archives

LONDON: Virgin Media Television’s family entertainment channel Challenge is working with BBC Motion Gallery to produce two series featuring classic game-show moments and bloopers from the British TV archive, with legendary presenter Roy Walker to host. 

The 5×1-hour Roy Walker’s TV Bloomers will feature behind-the-scenes moments from when stars of top TV series have had mishaps on screen. It will cover the world of game shows, drama, news and current affairs, among others. Also in production is Roy Walker’s Game Show Moments, which will showcase memorable moments, game-show icons, top prizes, outrageous contestants and more from the history of game shows. 

Dave Clarke, the channel controller for Challenge, said, "We’re thrilled to have Roy Walker, one of Britain’s most-loved presenters, host brand new shows for Challenge. Roy will bring his Irish charm and humour accompanied by some of the best laugh-out-loud game-show archive footage to the Challenge viewers."
