ShowBiz Ireland on da BBC!!

ShowBizIreland.com has joined forces with BBC Northern Ireland for a brand new 6 part series for Straight Forward Productions called Fish out of Water.

On Wednesday March 6th at 10.30pm on BBC you can see what happens when ShowBizIreland.com's Editor Jason O'Callaghan is taken out of ShowBiz filled Dublin and asked to swap with Niall Crozier from the Portadown Times.

Along the way friends, work colleagues, and family members offer intriguing insights into the personalities and drive of the two protagonists.

Speaking about the show Jane Kelly, the show's Producer / Director said "This is a sparky programme with wit and wickedness. I had such fun with this programme. Both Niall and Jason just didn't hold back and though they each really enjoyed the people they met, they would not swap jobs for any money and they let us know it".

She continued "Filming people at work and hopefully capturing something natural about it can be tricky enough, throwing people into someone else's job and expecting them to act naturally is even more difficult. What we did was to go a few steps further again. Our participants not only had to swap jobs, but also city, society and environment, and, in the full glare of the camera. I was delighted that everyone who took part did so with a real sense of curiosity, to stand in someone else's shoes and get a feel for their work, their life, their society. It's been a very unique and hopefully, lasting experience for them and for us."

"The series looks gorgeous, rich colours and beautifully composed scenes - it's not so much a docu-soap as a docu-movie. We've covered a very wide range of jobs and people in a relatively short run of programmes from estate agency to teaching and from journalism to vets. There's a lot of humour in the programmes, each of the people who took part could quite easily have a series of their own, their opinions and response to the job in hand are unusually honest and candid. And of course the contributions of their family, friends and work colleagues along the way really let you get in under the skin of the people taking part"

During the6 shows the producers took 12 unsuspecting individuals and swaped their jobs and lives for a week. The twist was that one person came from the North of Ireland and the other from the South.

The series covers a huge range of jobs and lives from estate agents to journalists, vets to chefs and teachers to hotel managers. All of life, North and South is here!

Each week, two people leave their jobs and travel North and South to a new job, new society. We follow as they find their feet, make new friends, discover common ground or confirm their own prejudices.

The first show is broadcast on Wednesday February 27th at 10.30pm on BBC Northern Ireland. Following two Goliath's of the Estate Agency business, North and South swap jobs in this unique and humorous programme when they go back to the floor to value and sell houses miles away from their home ground.
