Channel 4 scrap show as comedian admits 'everything went wrong' in pilot


Comedian James Acaster has revealed that a TV show he was working on was axed after the pilot episode was filmed and ended up being an utter disaster.

The 40-year-old funnyman, famed for his stints on Mock The Week and bagging a whopping five Chortle Awards, not to mention his Netflix special Repertoire and the hit podcast Off Menu he co-hosts with Ed Gamble, faced a rare hiccup. He was trying to bring to life a format borrowed from his show Question Team which throws comedians into guessing games about the public - like whose phone battery was the most juiced, or who boasts the largest garden, reports the Mirror. James confessed he still enjoyed filming the pilot (Image: Channel 4)However, the show hit a snag when a wrestler shattered a sugar glass vase too quickly.
