An American TV icon joins the cast of a classic British panto in this laugh-out-loud, fish-out-of-water obs doc 6x45’

Doing for British panto what Welcome To Wrexham’s done for football, HE’S BEHIND YOU! follows [US/Euro celebrity TBC] from the producers’ initial offer, through rehearsals, costume fittings and opening night nerves.

As our star embarks on a gruelling theatrical schedule, we’ll see them dive headlong into a weird and wonderful world crossdressing, custard pies and high camp. Along the way, s/he’ll meet panto stalwarts Sir Ian McKellen, Henry Winkler, Jerry Hall and Christopher Biggins and discover whether this peculiarly British humour translates!
