Wingin It
BBC Switch on BBC TwoSaturday 25th April. 12.45pm‘Winging It’ features quick-witted comedians who are thrust into unfamiliar real-life scenarios and forced to improvise their way out.
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 each challenge.
Every challenge begins with the performer receiving a mission statement – a dossier they won’t be allowed to open until minutes before their assignment begins. Their mission will contain several ‘hit points’ – pre-planned obstacles, which increase in difficulty as the challenge progresses.
Each comedian will be guided through their assignment by the masked ‘Wing Commander’ who will secretly trigger each new part of the ‘hit’ via an earpiece. This will be the very first time the comedians will hear what they have to do next.
This week comedian Rhys Thomas dons a silver jumpsuit to become Spin Jackson, music media mogul and BBC Switch presenter Tom Deacon takes on the role of Mitch Mitchelson, a top level operative in CSI. But can they convince their audience that they’re the real deal?
