Former Great British Bake Off presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins are back together as hosts, this time reviving TV classic The Generation Game.

The popular pair have pursued solo projects since their time on the baking contest came to an end, but will be reunited for the game show previously hosted by Bruce Forsyth, Larry Grayson and Jim Davidson.

Due to air on BBC One, the programme will include many features familiar to fans of previous series as pairs of contestants from different generations of families take on tasks in the hope of securing a chance at winning prizes from the show’s famous conveyor belt.

“We can’t believe it, we are so excited!”
