Family show once hosted by Bruce Forsyth and famous for conveyor belt of toasters and household electricals to be revivedTelevision presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will soon be back together on BBC1 again, urging on amateur competitors, but not in a baking contest. “It’s a cuddly toy, it’s a toaster, it’s a circular power saw, no it’s Mel and Sue doing The Generation Game! We are so excited!” the comedy duo said, evoking the memory of the legendary conveyor-belt memory test from the original show. The programme, to be made by BBC Studios, is to combine classic skill challenges, such as balloon modelling or flamenco dancing, with new games for volunteer family teams to play in the studio for prizes. A panel of star judges and a lineup of celebrity guests will join the new hosts for a four-programme run.
