Default The Weakest Link is being revived
Quote:
THE Weakest Link is making a comeback to screens.

The BBC quiz show fronted by ‘Queen of mean’ Anne Robinson will return to the BBC in November.

It will be revived for a celebrity special for Children in Need with talk of bringing the show back for good next year.

A source said: “The Weakest Link was one of the most exciting and original quizzes in television history, and left a huge void when it came off air.

“Nothing has really replaced it so the prospect of its return is really exciting.

“But instead of being a teatime format, the 2018 version will be a primetime Saturday night series.

“This time around, it will be a celebrities at the helm which will really give it a fresh and fun new feel.

“Terms have been agreed in principle, and the BBC are hopeful of attracting some great – albeit brave – celeb names.”

The original ‘Queen of mean’ – Anne Robinson – will return to the show for a Children in Need special in November
Last night Anne Robinson confirmed the news saying: “I‘ve been chatting to the BBC controller of Entertainment who has had the idea of reviving the show.

“Who knows? I’m a bit on the old side for television and I can’t bake cakes. But I’m quite good at marinating my tongue in acid.”

The show was one of the broadcaster’s most successful and was licensed to over 70 countries.

It ran from 2000 until 2012.

Have they confirmed if they're bringing back a full series or is it just a Children in Need special?
