Simon Mayo To Host Return of Blockbusters on Challenge TV
Revived attempt at the cult hexagon based quiz show will hit our screens later this Spring.
Blockbusters is the ultimate cult TV quiz, and we think that Simon Mayo is the perfect host to bring it back to our screens, commented Barbara Gibbon, director of Challenge TV. We hope that it will be popular not only with those of us who loved it the first time around but also with a brand new generation of fans. We might even bring back the hand-jive! Blockbusters marks Challenge TV's first original commission since being re-launched last year on Freeview and "supports Skys commitment to increase its investment in home grown content to £600m by 2014."
