In a warm and entertaining new five-part series, ten Brits, about to embark on one of the toughest weeks of their lives, welcome the support and advice of wise strangers from around the world through a secret in-ear device for one week. Whilst the sages’ words are beamed live right into their ear day and night, family, friends and colleagues remain totally unaware of these unseen secret helpers. As the Brits face challenges and dilemmas, the sages tell them exactly what they think in real time, offering tips, advice and home-grown perspectives on life, love and everything in between.

Dan and Sarjit both worked on the series.
