Exclusive: Sony is bringing back British gameshow Can’t Touch This – two years after the original series was cancelled by the BBC.
The Hollywood studio has piloted a new version of the show, which was originally produced by Sony’s Northern Irish indie Stellify Media and is taking it out to international broadcasters at Mipcom.
The show is a comedic, interactive gameshow in which contestants have to overcome hilarious obstacles and challenges including bungee ropes, bubble wrap and slippery slopes, all guaranteed to make things difficult until finally they must take a huge leap of faith and touch the star prize – a brand new car.
It originally aired on BBC in a primetime Saturday night slot in March 2016 with Zoe Ball and Ashley Banjo hosting. However, it failed to rate and was not renewed after its first season.
