Who’s the boss?
Imagine finding out the new guy in your office is actually an executive from head office. Welcome to Undercover Boss.

Channel TEN has picked up the format rights to Undercover Boss, which sees a senior executive from the headquarters of a large company work as a new recruit at office level without revealing their identity.
After 10 days in the frontline, colleagues of the new recruit are told their workmate’s true identity. Ouch.
The show will form part of TEN’s push to include more factual entertainment in its schedule.
TEN was this week reported to be looking for light factual entertainment shows at Mipcom to be be stripped across its earlier primetime slots.
Of course, if news of this show’s format leaks in too many places it’s likely to get very difficult to hoodwink workers for purposes of filming. New bloke…. TV cameras….. jig’s up…

this sounds interesting
Interesting concept that will likely be destroyed by 10 .
I like the sound of this format… bring it on!
could be pretty funny if executed properly. and yes, hidden cameras may be the go here, with all the advances in technology surely picture quality wouldn’t have to suffer too much, put up a few new mirrors round the place, staff aren’t to know there’s a big brother camera behind them.
Well, this is from the people that said BB was “factual”…
How is this even remotely a factual show?
Wouldn’t the office staff all have to sign releases for the show to be aired? What would happen if one of the staff refused?
What has it got to do with The Office?
Sounds interesting, maybe they need hidden cameras?
yeh shooting a series like this would be fun…alot of hidden camera stuff i’d suspect otherwise why would a newbie have TV cameras following them around…doh!! didnt think that one through…oh well I hear they havent pulled down BB’s house yet….
