That's right, Alan Carr's Picture Slam is coming back for an electrifying second run on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. After a highly successful first series that aired in September 2023, viewers can expect even more pressure and mind-boggling picture challenges in the upcoming season.

With an average of 3.3 million viewers and a peak of 4.6 million, Picture Slam became the biggest entertainment launch on the BBC in 2023. The audience was captivated by the play-along nature of the show, where contestants competed in teams of two to identify pictures against the clock. Now, the jackpot prize of £10,000 will have everyone on the edge of their seats.

Hosted by the one and only Alan Carr, the show promises to bring pure joy and excitement to your screens. Carr, known for his unique blend of wit and humour, couldn't be more thrilled about the show's return. He says, 'I am over the moon that Picture Slam is coming back, I love the show so much and I'm bowled over by how popular it’s become. It's manic, a little bit random, and full of fun - it's like if I was a quiz show!!! Let's do it all over again!'

But it's not just Carr who's excited. The executive producers, Ed De Burgh and Ben Shephard from Triple Brew Media, are equally enthusiastic about the show's comeback. They believe that Picture Slam's fast-paced, play-along nature combined with Carr's wit and humour will continue to captivate audiences. They can't wait to bring more Picture Slam to everyone.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, the Head of Entertainment at the BBC, shared her excitement about the second series, mentioning that there will be even more episodes to look forward to. With Alan Carr at the helm, Picture Slam is the perfect teatime treat that the whole family can play along with.
