User Reviews

Utterly brilliant

This is a show that Channel 4 started making in the UK and has been aired over a number of years. Each episode has a member of the general public being given a task of learning a new job in just 4 weeks and then fooling a panel of judges. The person chosen would have absolutely nothing in common with the task or job that they had been given to do which would make it all the more difficult. Each week would be different and not everyone succeeded. Everyone would have a first class back up and coaching team behind them and every effort was made to try and fool the judges. I enjoyed each one of these and the series was picked up by the USA who also made a first class programme. Watch and enjoy .....
