'Name That Tune', the '80s musical gameshow originally hosted by Tom O'Connor, is set to return on Five with Ant & Dec as producers.

The show, which sees contestants attempt to name a popular song in as few notes as possible, will be broadcast in early 2010, reports BBC News.

Although the Geordie duo are on production duties for the show, it has not been announced who will present it.

Five previously had a stab at reviving the TV show in the 1990s, with Jools Holland presenting. Donna Taberer, Five's entertainment director, said, "It's Five's first big-budget musical entertainment series and I'm thrilled to have it."
