Emergency Control Operator to Live TV Studio Director
28-year-old fire control operator, Lynne Hurst, swaps a life of taking 999 emergency calls for calling the shots as a live studio director. Novice Lynne has less than a month to learn her new trade before pitting her skills against three established directors on a live transmission of RI:SE in one of the biggest galleries in the country. Helping Lynne in her quest are Conor MaCanally, executive producer of Saturday morning shows SM-TV and CD-UK, and renowned U2 and Madonna music director Hamish Hamilton.

Kickboxer to Ballroom Dancer
Jo Weatherill is a 26-year-old black-belt kick boxer from York. A committed tomboy, Jo likes nothing more than a fight followed by a few pints with the lads. In tonight's episode of Faking It she will leave her boyfriend Richard and her cat Shaky behind to head for London where she will try to become a Latin Ballroom Dancer.

Jo's mentors soon discover that there will be more to this challenge that just learning the steps. Jo is reluctant to exchange her black belt for a sequin gown and it's a race against time to get her in touch with her feminine side. If Jo is going to fool the judges she must embrace glamour, make-up and a man she has only just met. Can Jo swap the crescent kick and the back fist for the rumba and the jive and fake it as a Latin ballroom diva.

Insurance man to Stuntman
31-year-old insurance man, Matt Davies, swaps a life of risk-assessing for risk taking as he struggles to become a movie stunt man. Matt will have just one month of training in the 'school of hard knocks' before pitting himself against the talents of three tough and experienced stuntmen in a test that will push them all to the limit.

Matt's chance of fooling the judges depends on the intensive training he receives from his three mentors: high-fall and stunt-driving legend Rocky Taylor, Andy Smart, a top precision driver and Morgan Johnson, a tough Royal Marine turned stunt man. In a business where only the fittest can survive, Matt must win the trust and support of the hard men teaching him. But after a life of pen pushing, paper-chasing and work behind a desk, can Matt rise to such a tough, physical challenge? can he find the bottle to fake it and fool the judges?

Radiographer to Fashion Photographer
David Keith, a 27-year-old NHS radiographer, helps doctors save lives, taking X-ray pictures in the Accident & Emergency Department of the Royal Hospital in Gloucester. In this episode of Faking It, David leaves behind his physiotherapist girlfriend, Vicky, and their cosy three-bedroom semi, and heads for London to see if he can make it as a fashion photographer. He'll live in a converted warehouse in Hackney and learn his craft from top snapper Stuart Weston and his Armenian assistant, Mr V.

In less than a month, David must know enough about cameras, lights, film and flirtation to take on three experienced photographers in a competition judged by top people from the fashion scene. There's all the technical stuff, yes, but fashion photography is all about front: has David got it? He may know his physics and biology inside out, but can he pull a shoot together when the model is feeling like a dog's dinner?
