Dermot O'Leary is to host Silence is Golden (6x60') a brand new entertainment show created by Richard Bacon, with music by Paul Farrer (pictured).

At the start of each episode, the network gives £250,000 to the studio audience and all they need to do to keep it...is remain silent. With every audience member mic'ed up, all hell breaks loose as a green room of 30 acts, led by three returning comedian captains, headed up by Katherine Ryan, wage war on the audience, with every sound forced out of them bringing the total prize money down. It's entertainers vs audience...

Silence is Golden is produced by Yes Yes Media, with Tim Dean (Late Night Lycett) series producing. It is executive produced by Richard Bacon and Yes Yes Media's Head of Entertainment Mark Sidaway (former showrunner of The X-Factor).
