Wipeout 1988

Overview

Wipeout was a British television game show adapted from an original United States format. The program aired on BBC1 for a period spanning from 25 May 1994 until 3 December 2002. During the initial years of production between 1994 and 1997, the show was filmed in London and featured Paul Daniels as the host. Following a move to Manchester in 1998, Bob Monkhouse assumed the role of host for the remainder of the series, continuing in that capacity until the show concluded in 2002. The production relied on the established international format to deliver its content to viewers throughout its run on the network. By transitioning between two prominent presenters and two distinct production locations, the series maintained a consistent presence on British television for over eight years. The archival record confirms that the show remained a fixture of the BBC1 schedule from its mid-nineties debut until its final broadcast in the early two thousands, marking the end of its tenure as a televised competition.
