91Èȱ¬ Three goes interactive with The Wall (working title)
|
91Èȱ¬ Three has commissioned Endemol subsidiary Zeppotron to produce The Wall (working title), a brand new comedy entertainment series.

The show will feature live comedy, music and celebrity guests. The action revolves around a vast video wall which acts as a virtual gateway for viewers to react to the show in real time, rate brand new performers, make suggestions and send in their own questions for celebrity guests while the show is on air.

The Wall (working title) will also have a separate life outside of the live transmission with viewers invited to participate with the show online. Here they can submit jokes, upload their own sketches, rate each other's contributions and access extra content.

Danny Cohen, Controller, 91Èȱ¬ Three, says: "The Wall is a dedicated showcase for the next generation of British comedy and entertainment talent. It feels like this kind of show has been missing in recent years from the British telly landscape – and with an ever greater focus on new talent and innovation, it's the right kind of entertainment show for 91Èȱ¬ Three."
