Total Wipeout: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Total Wipeout was a British game show, hosted by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram, which aired from 3 January 2009 – 31 December 2012.

Each week, 20 contestants competed in a series of challenges in an attempt to win £10,000. These challenges were based in large pools of water or mud and generally involved large assault courses that participants had to cross.

Total Wipeout was a licensed version of Wipeout, the Endemol show that originated in the United States in 2008, with the name slightly altered to avoid confusion with the BBC version of the earlier game show of the same name.
