Simon has insisted the remake will follow the same format as the original show, which aired on ITV between 1983 and 1994 and was hosted by the late Bob Holness, who died last month aged 83.
He told The Sun: 'No one needs to worry, it will be exactly the same - same set, same board, same theme tune although slightly updated.
'The prizes will probably be the same too although you won't win a dictionary, you win an e-reader.
'The spirit of the show will be exactly the same, that's why I said yes. There are very few tried and tested TV formats where you don't have to agonise over it. The great thing about it is everyone knows it works. It has a play along factor.'
Simon – who has previously presented BBC programme Winning Lines - wants to make a success of Blockbusters to do Bob 'proud', and he hinted that there could be a celebrity version in the making.
He added: 'I think there is a lot of talk about a celebrity edition, I'll have a word with the celebrity bookers.
'It is a feel good programme, it would be nice to do Bob proud. His legacy is so extraordinary
