Synopsis
Comedy series which features quick-witted comedians who are thrust into unfamiliar scenarios and forced to improvise their way out of them.
Sporting a fake identity and with no time to prepare, the comedians will be pushed to the limit as they desperately try to adapt to their challenge. Each challenge begins with the performer receiving a dossier they won't be allowed to open until minutes before their assignment begins.
This fearless cast of the best new comedy talent, will be guided through their assignment by the Wing Commander who will communicate with them via an earpiece. Their mission will contain several 'hit points' - pre-planned obstacles, which increase in difficulty as the challenge progresses. The Wing Commmander will be pushing the comedians and will secretly trigger each new part of the 'hit'.
BBC Switch presenter Tom Deacon takes on the role of Mitch Mitchelson, Britain's youngest top level operative in CSI, while Rhys Thomas dons a silver jumpsuit to become Spin Jackson, music media mogul. Will they be able to convince the public they are experts in a field they know nothing about? Or will their audience realise they are Winging It?
