Mel & Sue are bringing The Generation Game back to BBC One...

Bigger and better than ever before, the much-loved family gameshow, The Generation Game, is returning to our screens for a four episode run with Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins running proceedings.

This classic show, from BBC Studios, combines elements everyone knows and loves from the original series, whilst being brought up to date with a hilarious selection of brand new games and challenges for families of all ages to play in studio and enjoy watching at home.

Pairs of family members across generations will battle it out in a series of fun performance and task based games with the ultimate goal of facing the legendary Conveyor Belt, and taking home an array of fabulous prizes.

All our family pairs will start the show in the studio audience and only find out which game they’re playing when Mel & Sue get them from their seats. There’s no time for rehearsals in this gameshow, so anything could happen on the night.

Mel and Sue are joined by a panel of star judges, there to score our family pairs after each game and ultimately decide which pair faces the Conveyor Belt.

Furthermore, special celebrity guests will be getting involved in the action along the way.

Applications to be on the show can be made via the following link:
