Newsagent to Showbiz Reporter
Working mum Jatinder Sumal puts her real life on hold and swaps bringing up children and working in the family newsagent for a four week crash course in TV reporting.
The people responsible for her training are Piers Morgan (Mirror editor at the time who says 'reporting is a hard brutal dirty business, this is not for the faint hearted'), and BBC presenters Claudia Winkleman and Alex Stanger. It's their job to turn this quiet mum into a sassy media babe - capable of keeping her cool while presenting to camera and interviewing celebrities live on television.

At the end of her four weeks Jatinder will be up against three experienced TV reporters and will have to interview the Appleton sisters live on GMTV in front of a panel of expert judges - TV veteran Janet Street Porter, presenter Kate Thornton and TV executive Sham Sandhu. So has this working mum got what it takes to fool Janet Street Porter?

Bicycle Courier to Polo Player
Malcolm Woodcock is a bicycle courier from Manchester who has 28 days to train to be a professional polo player. At the end of a month he has to play in a match and convince a panel of experts that he has been in the game for a few years. A tall order as Malcolm is covered in tattoos and piercings, dresses in black gothic clothing complete with eye-liner and black nail vanish, and has a shaved head except for a 3 foot long pony tail. He has also never ridden a horse and the only sport he plays is pool! He is spending the month at Prince Charles' local polo club in Gloucestershire, training and mixing with the sport's social elite. But at the end of the month will he be able to fake it in the game of kings?

Chess Player to Football Manager
Maximillion Devereaux is a former professional chess player with seven A-levels who enjoys a solitary existence in rural Herefordshire pursuing his favourite past-times of internet chess and solo camping. For one month he will trade in the chessboard and his rural idyll for the football pitch as he attempts to fake it as a football manager. Max will learn the ropes at Second Division Club, Brentford FC under the watchful gaze of former Wimbledon Crazy Gang member now turned manager, Wally Downes.

Maximillion's final test will be to manage a team in a football tournament under the intense scrutiny of a panel of football experts. Will they be fooled by his transformation from brain-teaser to diamond geezer?

Maximillion's crash-course in football management is a baptism by fire as he struggles to find the leadership qualities he needs for the role. But Max goes through an even more difficult personal journey; having shied away from groups since being a victim of bullying at school, the laddish environment forces him to confront a few ghosts from the past. Will Max cry off or will he be inspired by the team ethic to lead his team to victory and thwart the judges?
