The BBC has reportedly ordered a pilot of a gameshow format called Block Out.
In the show, which has been a huge success for Channel 7 in Thailand, contestants must answer questions while balancing on a ledge next to a shapeshifting wall.
As the competition progresses, blocks emerge from the wall, TETRIS-style, forcing the contestants to contort themselves into unusual positions to avoid falling off the ledge.
According to The Times, the BBC is eyeing up the show for a primetime BBC One slot next year and views the format as a potential successor to Total Wipeout and Hole in the Wall.
The non-broadcast pilot episode will be made by A League of Their Own producers CPL Productions in the coming months.
