The Big New Year’s In

BBC One, 9pm

Banter merchant Paddy McGuinness gets everyone’s big New Year’s in underway with a one-hour, star-studded live show of fun, music, games and surprises.

Also on the cards is a hilarious quiz of 2020, inviting us to play along and test our memories of the long, dramatic year gone by.

The night begins at 9pm with The Big New Year’s In hosted by Paddy McGuinness.

Celebrity guests will join McGuinness in a live show of music, games, surprises and a hilarious quiz of the year.

Graham Norton will then continue the countdown with his traditional end of year talk show, joined by Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Tom Hanks, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Jessica Chastain, Nish Kumar, and with music from Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Offering a fresh take on the music game show genre, I Can See Your Voice will provide music, comedy and play-along fun for the whole family.

The aim of the game involves two players attempting to guess who can and can’t sing from a group of mystery singers before them, in order to win a cash prize.

Through a series of amusing lip sync challenges, the competitors must weed out those masquerading as music maestros and whittle down the group to the one they believe truly has the gift of song.

With seven weddings and three babies having come from the show, McGuinness chats to the couples and reminisces about the moment their eyes met across the Take Me Out love lift.
