Hole In The Wall

Hole in the Wall is a leading contender for the worst TV programme ever made, yet some how managed to get a second series currently airing on BBC1 after final score and before Merlin. Hole in the wall, as a concept is exactly as it sounds there is a whole in the wall which three celebrities have to contort themselves into to get through as the wall rushes towards them. They stand on a platform and there is water either side of them, if they fail they land in the water. The shows host then awards each team so many points based on their performance in that task. There are two teams of three celebrities, all are clad in skin tight silver outfits with either red ...  Read the complete review

Dale Winton. What a man! Entertaining the nation (maybe not everyone) from his Radio 2 show 'Pick of the Pops' to the lottery show In it To Win It. When I found out that he was to present Hole in the Wall I was a little bit disappointed but then after one series he left. Which was good. Until Anton Du Beke stepped up.

This last fact is probably (what do I mean probably...definitely!!) the only redeeming factor of this show that, otherwise, is lowest common denominator viewing of ...  Read the complete review

One of those programmes that you just know we have stolen from Japanese television, it seems to be a human version of tetris, where celebrities dressed in terribly ill fitting lycra have a wall coming towards them and have to contort their body into various shapes to fit through the hole in the wall and avoid being knocked in the water. I struggle to understand how this programme is shown in the prime BBC1 Saturday night slot when most people will be watching the television, it is cheap, tacky and incredibly unbecoming of the main British television channel. However and I must be honest here, watching people desperate to embarrass themselves dressed ...  Read the complete review
