Pictionary Christmas Specials | Preview (ITV1)

Brand-new ITV game show Pictionary (25x30”) based on world’s most popular drawing game hosted by Mel Giedroyc.

Based on Mattel’s popular board game of quick-fire sketches and hilarious guesses, Pictionary will follow the same rules as the familiar at-home game and will see two teams battle against each other.

In the classic sketching and guessing game Mel Giedroyc will be joined by two celebrity team captains who will lead their teams of contestants. Their mission is to draw images to match a word or phrase from a specific category and the teammates will have to guess correctly to score.

The show proves you don’t have to be an artist to draw and in fact, if you can’t draw, it makes it even funnier! With the chance to win an incredible prize, the stakes are high… 

Host Mel Giedroyc said: “Everyone is familiar with Pictionary, and I am so excited to help bring the game to life on television. It is such a pleasure to be a part of and I know people will love the show.” 

Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime ITV, said: “I am thrilled we are bringing this much loved game show to the UK. It’s perfect for all the family to enjoy and play along at home. With Mel Giedroyc at the helm, 'Pictionary' is in the hands of a true entertainer. Her infectious energy and quick wit make her the perfect choice to host the show.”

Pictionary Christmas Specials air Monday 23rd and Thursday 26th December on ITV1.
