Faking It: The Series

Could you "fake it" as a club DJ, top chef or even a show jumper? That's what happens in Faking It - now rightly seen as classic television. The show took real people out of their comfort zone and were given a month to master a new skill; after which they face the tough challenge of fooling a group of expert judges into believing that they were the real thing.

UKTV People is showing all five series of Faking It, plus some specials bringing together some amazing stories and emotional moments as the 'fakers' get to grips with the challenges.

Faking It saw Sian Evans, the straight-laced classical cellist transform into a club DJ, mixing it with the best of them. And Lisa Dickinson-Gray, the 25-year-old chemist shop assistant who left her family home in the north to become a high society girl, moving in circles she had never dreamed of. Her challenge was tough and emotions ran high as she was tutored in the deportment and manners suitable to a lady of her (new) class.

Ed, the Geordie burger vendor, was mentored by Gordon Ramsey and managed to fake being a top chef, beating his rivals in a competition judged by top food experts.

Then there was the vicar who becomes a car salesman, a show girl who learns to show jump, a sheep shearer who takes on the challenge to cut hair and the newsagent who turns her new found skills to showbiz reporting.
