Winging It

Episode 3

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland (Analogue)Latest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

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'.

The Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas becomes Zack Dashwood, a representative for the 2012 Olympics, with a mission to persuade his sports-mad audience to sign up for brand-new event 'Ballfinger'.

Meanwhile, comedian Charlie Skelton is Heinrich Bloom, a European teen driving guru trying to convince a group of learner drivers that he is their passport to success in passing their driving test. Show less
