Thursday 13^th December, 10pm

BBC Two

 

Sour-faced TV panel show guest and stand-up comedian, Rhod Gilbert, has turned his acerbic witted hand to a range of careers in his new series, Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience, and this week’s is a good’un, with Rhod diving jock-strapped, wigged and sequinned into the world of drag artistry.

Internationally famous female impersonator, Ceri Dupree, mentors Rhod while he finds his stilettoed feet as his alter-ego, Rachel, but does the burly Welshman have the social confidence to perform a Shirley Bassey tribute routine at a rural working-men’s club?

Catch Rhod’s other forays into the workplace on i player-he’s already had a crack at primary school teaching and zoo keeping, both with pleasantly enlightening outcomes.
