Hole In The Wall Reviews

Hole in the Wall is definitely among my guiltiest of pleasures on the BBC.When I'm on the subject please note this review is on the UK version although I'm sure the concept is rather similar in other countries where versions of the show are present. The show is hosted by Strictly's Anton Du Bec along with the two regular team captains ...  Read the complete review

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.

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. I don't know what's ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

In the realm of wacky and bizarre Japanese quiz shows like the great Takeshi's Castle comes the great, fun quiz show called Hole in the Wall. The show starts with loud, blazing music with cartoon silhouettes going through walls; from this start it is definitely not going to be mastermind!

We give the world Who wants to be a Millionaire and what do we get in return? We get Hole in the Wall!!

Apparantly it originated in Japan and I'm guessing the pitch for the English version went something like this: 'Well, we're thinking of making a show where D-list celebrities have to squeeze themselves into weird shapes so that they can get through a hole in a foam wall without being pushed ...  Read the complete review

The latest Strictly Come Dancing controversy and the perfunctory 200 phone complaints that followed is where the BBC seems to be right now, determined not to lose their 'thought police' tag by continuously dumbing down their programming even more to adhere to their original public mandate, which was to please all sections of the community with a ...  Read the complete review

My god this show is stupid but I love it. I first heard of this one Sunday morning when watching Something for the Weekend, they mentioned this programme and showed a clip of it. It looked so daft but great fun that I had to watch it the following weekend. Basically the show involves two teams of celebrities - 3 in each team - ...  Read the complete review

Well I'm just about to watch Hole in the Wall for the first time. It all starts with some blaring music and little cartoon charaters with their silohets in walls. Dale Winters presenting this looks all good, telling the camera about the tight suite people wear to get through a wall. Sounds good. Okay and there all coming out wearing ...  Read the complete review

'Hole in the Wall' is the latest primetime television show with the aim of demeaning 'so called' celebrities and it succeeds in a major way.

The concept is simple, celebrities stand in ...  Read the complete review

Hole In The Wall is a light entertainment/game show thats shown on BBC1 on Saturday evenings before Strictly Come Dancing.
