A group of celebrities took to the streets of Canterbury today to film a pilot episode for a new television game show, and the experience turned into an amusing spectacle for onlookers. The star-studded team attempted to navigate a giant 45kg red ball through the city but encountered an amusing obstacle when they reached the infamous security bollards on Guildhall Street.
Footage captured by KentOnline revealed the humorous moment when comedian Rob Beckett was knocked over while struggling to maneuver the inflatable globe alongside fellow comedian Kiell Smith-Bynoe and TV presenter Josie Gibson. Their attempts to maintain control of the ball drew the attention of shoppers and tourists alike, who watched the antics unfold.
As they made their way past notable landmarks such as the Canterbury Cathedral and Westgate Towers, the trio faced several challenges. In one of the show’s segments, they donned blindfolds and relied solely on instructions from the town crier to navigate through Buttermarket. This dynamic added an extra layer of hilarity to the proceedings as the celebrities attempted to complete various tasks throughout the city, which included routes through Burgate, Palace Street, Orange Street, The Friars, King Street, Blackfriars Street, and the Whitefriars shopping center.
Producers have high hopes for the upcoming comedy game show, which is inspired by an existing Dutch concept that aired on YouTube via StukTV. The project is being produced by Banijay UK labels Initial and Zeppotron, with excitement building around its potential comedic charm. Katy Manley, managing director of Initial, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the show’s potential to entertain. “This hilarious new show is the perfect next joint project for us. Initial brings the big red balls (we also make Wipeout), while Zeppotron will unlock its legendary black book to cast the funniest people in the country,” she said.
Peter Holmes, managing director of Zeppotron, echoed this sentiment, describing the show as both simple and silly. He expressed eagerness to merge with Initial to put a unique twist on the ball-based format.
As the production team captures more footage, anticipation builds for how the hilarity and team dynamics will translate into the final product. Local residents and onlookers are sure to be excited to see how these celebrities pull off their light-hearted challenges and the comedic chaos that ensues.
