How exactly this should take place is not yet known.
Living in a throwaway society
Everyone will appear as executive producer in the new format and can also be seen, while Karn is to moderate the show. "Let's just say how it is – we live in a throwaway society," Allen is quoted as saying. "What happened to repairs and rebuilding?" Allen created a show to remind people of the pride that comes with rebuilding something.
In 2018 there were reports that a revival of "Listen, who hammers" was planned, but to date nothing has officially emerged in this direction.
