Merrick Watts is set to host a new panel quiz show based around ABC archive footage.

Titled Tractor Monkeys, production will begin mid next month on the eight-part series, to screen in 2013 on ABC1.

The teams will be led by comedian Dave O’Neil and Katie ‘Monty’ Dimond who was Watt’s co-host on Nova last year.
