''Don't Scare the Hare'' is a 2011 British television game show produced by Initial (a subsidiary of Endemol UK) for the BBC, hosted by Jason Bradbury and narrated by Sue Perkins. The programme was aired on BBC One on Saturday evenings and was first transmitted on 23 April 2011, before the first episode of the 6th series of Doctor Who. This series was originally billed to run for 9 episodes but was taken off air after 6 episodes because of poor ratings. The remaining 3 episodes were rescheduled for broadcast in October. In the show, contestants must compete in a series of challenges to win £15,000 of prize money; failure to successfully complete questions and physical challenges risks "scaring" a giant robotic hare. The programme has been described by its host as "fantasy based toddler telly with an adult twist". It was the first series to be made at the BBC's new studios at MediaCityUK in Salford. ==Background== The show was initially piloted at BBC Television Centre in September 2009, with Jason Bradbury as host and Barry Davies providing a live voiceover. The format subsequently underwent further development. In November 2010, the ''Manchester Evening News'' reported that television production company Endemol was producing a new game show for Saturday evenings at the area's new MediaCityUK studios. In December, ''The Guardian'' reported that a giant robotic hare had been seen at the complex in Salford. Jason Bradbury was named as host in January 2011, while some newspapers identified comedian Miranda Hart as the show's narrator.〔〔 〕 Ultimately, however, the role went to Sue Perkins. Announcing ''Don't Scare the Hare'', BBC Entertainment's executive editor Alan Tyler said the show "cleverly captures the spirit and fun of interactive family video games that has been sweeping the nation. () We're excited about bringing this experimental new format to early Saturday evenings on BBC One", while Nick Mather, head of entertainment at Endemol called the show "an innovative new format and said he was "highly excited to be making this large scale studio show for BBC One." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don't Scare the Hare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
