A giant animatronic hare – yes you read that right – has been spotted at the studios at the BBC's new headquarters in MediaCity:UK in Salford. Apparently it's being used for a big new BBC1 Saturday night entertainment show called Don't Scare the Hare. It's being made by Total Wipeout producers Endemol and involves contestants facing mental and physical challenges against each other and the big robotic hare. Harebrained or a hit? Monkey can't wait to find out.
