Popular telly programmes such as The Apprentice, Question Time, The South Bank Show, Panorama and Wife Swap have been given the full operatic interpretation. 
Each episode features a central, spoken comedy performance. The Fast Show's John Thomson plays a recognisably beardy entrepreneur in The Applicants; Dead Ringers' Jon Culshaw fields hecklers in Question Time Out; comedy god Kevin Eldon dons a wig for The South Bragg Show; and The Now Show's Hugh Dennis presents a Manorama Special. 
Each 30-minute episode recreates the look of the original programme, but follows the characters out of the show's format and into their off-screen lives with fantasy sequences of song and dance.
