As a long-time admirer of Mel Giedroyc’s wit and charm, I am absolutely thrilled to see her taking the reins for the U.K. version of Pictionary! With her extensive experience in hosting successful shows like The Great British Bake Off, she has proven time and again that she can bring a unique energy and humor to any program.
A TV show based on the Mattel game Pictionary is heading to the U.K.
Pictionary” will make its debut towards the end of this year, first airing as a special Christmas episode on ITV, and then continuing with a series of 24 additional episodes.
The program, previously tailored for the U.S. (now in its third season), features two contestants competing by drawing words or phrases from designated categories.
The event will be emceed by Mel Giedroyc, a past host of “The Great British Bake-Off.” She’ll have two famous team captains by her side, each managing a group of participants aiming to identify an image correctly.
The U.S. version is hosted by Jerry O’Connnell.
I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be helping Whisper North, the U.K. adaptation specialists behind Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, bring Pictionary to life here in the U.K.
ITV’s entertainment director Katie Rawcliffe and assistant commissioner Leanne Clarke initiated the production of the show. Whisper North’s Kerri Reid and Tom McLennan will serve as executive producers. Laura Burrell, Vice President for international format distribution at Paramount Global Content Distribution facilitated the agreement.
Alex Godfrey, Vice President for content distribution at Mattel, expressed his excitement about the growing popularity of ‘Pictionary’ among viewers. He can hardly wait to share this cherished game show with audiences in the U.K., inviting more fans of the timeless game to participate and enjoy the fun,” said Alex Godfrey.
ITV’s Rawcliffe stated: “I’m delighted that we are introducing this popular game show to the UK! It’s great for everyone, even for families to enjoy together and participate at home.
