Battle in the Box
Battle in the Box sees pairs of comics/celebrities in a battle for floorspace, in this comedy entertainment and reality hybrid. The 8 episode series comprises 4 double bills - which see 8 pairs spend 24 hours in the box. When the clock starts 2 celebrity teams will move into a completely empty box divided by a moveable wall with nothing but a toothbrush. Once inside, they will only have cameras and each other for company - no beds, tables, chairs or home comforts. Over the course of the day and night, they will need to earn everything by winning a series of physical and mental challenges all set by the orchestrator of this chaos, Jimmy Carr. Winning a game means more space and luxuries for the lucky duo. But there's a catch: more room for one team means less for the losers, as the Box's sliding wall forces them into an ever-smaller space.
