Iconic cult game show A Hole In The Wall might get a new reboot, 15 years since the last series.
It first aired in 2008 on BBC1 and although it was renewed for only two series – it easily captured viewers who got to see celebrities in an attempt to form the shape of the a hole in the wall.
The hole would slid horizontally towards them, making the gruelling challenge turn into memorably hilarious moments.
Famous personalities wore skin tight silver suits and helmets as they were more embarrassed rather than uplifted – contrary to most of today’s TV shows.
If they succeeded the demanding game, they would pass through, otherwise they would be pushed into a water pool on the other side.

‘The production company that own the rights to the show have been floating the idea of bringing it back with broadcasters,’ a TV source said, according to The Sun.
‘That includes the BBC, but just because it started out on the Beeb doesn’t mean it will end up there second time round, it could end up on ITV or even a streamer.
‘It could even lead to a bidding war between some big companies, many of whom will now be headed up by execs who used to watch the show when they were growing up.’
The iconic cult series was initially presented by late Supermarket Sweep host Dale Winton in 2008, and then Strictly alum Anton Du Beke took over in 2009.
Famous faces that joined the series include the likes of TV host Vanessa Feltz, Linda Lusardi, cricket star Phil Tufnell, snooker player Dennis Taylor, Neil and Christine Hamilton.
BBC has recently come under fire as Countryfile viewers slammed the show’s latest installment when they featured a a driving segment which some fans felt was too similar to Top Gear.
In Sunday’s episode, presenters Anita Rani and Matt Baker took a trip along the Lake District’s Hardknott and Wrynose passes, where Anita gushed about how much she enjoys a countryside drive.

But viewers said the last thing a programme about the countryside needs is more cars – especially amid climate change.
The routes famously feature some of the most challenging roads in the country – though with stunning views – as they narrowly wind up and down steep single tracks.
