A much-loved BBC game show is returning to screens in a few days, with big-name presenters, following a series of special episodes.
The Hit List is back with its seventh season after a great success.
A host of stars have previously taken on the challenge in a bid to win big for charity as part of the broadcaster’s series of celebrity specials.
The final season ended in September, but the first new episode will air on BBC One on Saturday 17 August.
In the BBC show, married couple Marvin (38) and Rochelle Humes (35) will put the candidates to the test by trying to recognise songs consisting of just a few notes.

To win £10,000, teams must prove they can recognise a range of songs, but even the most musically talented struggle.
One famous duo performed very poorly, considering their show business background.
Roman and Martin Kemp managed to reach the final, but stumbled at the last moment because they did not recognise hits by U2, Abba and Duran Duran.
Other celebrity guests included Steps’ Ian ‘H’ Watkins and Faye Tozer, dancer Oti Mabuse and former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley.
The show first aired in 2019 and was the pop star couple’s first presenting job.
Speaking with the i-newspaperthe couple discussed the challenges for the candidates.
Rochelle said: ‘I always tell them before the round starts, ‘Don’t look at the money coming in, look at me, I want you to win.’
‘We’ve had people who didn’t know the answer at all, and were completely overwhelmed by nerves.
In the BBC show The Hit List, a married couple will test the contestants’ musical skills as they attempt to identify the song from just a few notes.

“But that’s easier said than done.”
The working couple have revealed the secret to their happy marriage.
Rochelle and Marvin met in the late 2000s when they were at the height of their fame with their respective pop bands. They married at Blenheim Palace in July 2012.
In a recent interview, Rochelle spoke candidly about her marriage to Marvin, saying that the couple has a special “rule” for balancing their personal and professional lives. She also revealed that their romantic and parental relationship is built on communication first and foremost.
She said, ‘When I’m pissed off, I tell him; when he’s pissed off, he tells me. We’re not mind readers.’
‘We know we love each other and all that… But there’s a lot more to it – three kids, work, life…’
She explained that they have a rule that they can’t both “shine” at the same time, so that one of them can focus on parenting.
She also talked about balancing motherhood and her career, but admitted she never thought she would have children until she was in her mid-30s.
The Saturdays singer and JLS star have three children: Alaia-Mai, 10, Valentina, six, and Blake, three.
Rochelle’s latest presenting job comes after she jokingly shouted at producers to ‘get the camera off her’ during a botched cooking segment on This Morning.
The presenter found herself in a difficult position when she tried to pipe meringue onto the programme.
She presented alongside Dermot O’Leary, with TV chef Damiano Carrara giving the duo a masterclass in making a delicious raspberry pavlova for summer.
“We’re all going to do it together, okay?” Damiano insisted. “We’re going to do it this way and down,” he added as he demonstrated.
The new presenters, who have been with ITV’s daytime programme since March and are reportedly paid an annual salary of £555,000, are currently on a seven-week break.
During the summer holidays, a number of guest presenters are hired to host the show in their absence.
