After years of fans pleading for its return, it seems that Faking It, a beloved reality show from the early 2000s, is finally making a comeback. The show, which originally aired on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2006, captured the hearts of viewers with its unique premise and heartwarming transformations.
For those who may not remember, Faking It followed the journey of an average person as they were trained to become an expert in a completely different profession over the course of several weeks. Each episode culminated in a competition against a seasoned pro, with a panel of judges ultimately deciding who was truly "faking it." The transformations were often drastic and entertaining, from a lawyer turned garage MC to a punk rocker conducting an orchestra.
The show's success was evident not only through its loyal fan base and critical acclaim, but also with two Bafta awards under its belt. And now, after being off the air for so long, sources say that Faking It is set to return. According to Broadcast, both Channel 5 and production company Banijay are gearing up to revive the iconic series and bring it back to our screens.
It's no surprise that fans have been eagerly anticipating this news, as they've been reminiscing about the show's impact and how much they enjoyed watching it. Even kickboxer Jo, who tried her hand at ballroom dancing on the show, expressed her love for the unique format and how it differed from other reality shows at the time.
On social media, @Brickie78 wrote on Reddit, "Unlike many other 'reality' shows that would come after, this was notable for not having the emphasis on wacky characters and personality clashes but followed a normal person trying to master new skills and enter a different world. The end result was something much more interesting to watch, the drama from how well they could learn the skills and lingo, and the participants seemed generally to take a genuine interest."
@kildog also shared their love for the show, saying, "Always loved this show, wish it had managed to inspire me." And @DollyDaydreem added, "This series was absolutely brilliant and really genuinely heartwarming. I loved the burlesque episode, and the drag episode was great too."
As fans eagerly await the official confirmation from Channel 5, they can relive the magic of Faking It by streaming past episodes on Channel 4.
