Dick & Dom (aka Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood)
are set to burst onto BBC TWO this spring with their new early evening
quiz show, Dick & Dom's Ask the Family.
BBC Daytime Controller Alison Sharman has commissioned the new weekday
series which is an update of the classic BBC general knowledge quiz show
hosted by Robert Robinson.
Bafta award-winning Dick & Dom's unique and wacky sense of humour promises
to ensure that Dick & Dom's Ask the Family will be a very lively and entertaining
family quiz show.
The presenters will challenge four members of one family - consisting
of two adults and two children - to pit their wits against each other
in true Dick & Dom style.
Alison Sharman said: "I'm really excited that Dick and Dom are hosting
this show which will offer viewers of all ages, from teenagers to grandparents,
a quirky and entertaining start to their evening."
