Noel's off The Wall
New hosts for live BBC3 comedy show
Alexa Chung and Rhys Thomas have been named as hosts of BBC Three’s new weekly comedy show, The Wall.The programme, which intends to have close links with a website inviting viewers to submit their own sketches, was originally due to be hosted by Noel Fielding.

The programme will feature a regular ensemble including Tittybangbang’s Lucy Montgomery, sketch trio We Are Klang and character comic Simon Brodkin.
Each week celebrity guests join the regular cast for a mix of sketches, interviews and music performed live in front of a studio audience.
The show, which starts next month, is being made by Zeppotron, a subsidiary of Big Brother producers Endemol.
Its website has already gone live at bbc.co.uk/thewall/
