Peep Show Star To Host The Bubble!

Peep Show star David Mitchell has been confirmed as the host of new BBC comedy quiz The Bubble.

The show will involve guests being locked in a media-free zone for four days before being brought into a studio and asked about celebrity gossip and showbiz news that happened while they were away.

I like this remit – sounds pretty good, and I love the stuff where comedians have to be sharp enough to think on their feet rather than pretty much learn an essay off by heart.

Guests will have to figure out which stories are true and which are made up. The contestants will be a mixture of…

“comics, smart celebrities and wild-card bookings”.

The Bubble, which is produced by Hat Trick, will be part of the BBC’s Winter/Spring 2010 launch.
