Battle In The Box | Preview (U&Dave)

Jimmy Carr hosts this competitive comedy and reality hybrid where celebrities battle it out for pride, prizes and floorspace, whilst living inside a small box for a full day and night.

The eight-episode series will comprise of four tense double bills which will see eight pairs spend 24 hours in the box.

When the clock starts two celebrity teams will move into a completely empty box divided by a moveable wall with nothing but a toothbrush. Once inside, they will only have cameras and each other for company - no beds, tables, chairs or home comforts.

Over the course of the day and night, they will need to earn everything by winning a series of physical and mental challenges all set by the orchestrator of this chaos, Jimmy Carr.

Winning a game means more space and luxuries for the lucky duo. But there's a catch: more room for one team means less for the losers, as the Box's sliding wall forces them into an ever-smaller space. And, with games set around the clock, the tide - and the wall - can turn at any time.

Episode 1: Joe Swash and Seann Walsh v Harriet Kemsley and Lara Ricote: Jimmy Carr locks a group of celebrities inside the box for a full day and a night.

Across two episodes, former Eastenders actor Joe Swash will team up (and bunk up) with award-winning comedian Seann Walsh as they take on comedians Harriet Kemsley and Lara Ricote. They'll fight for pride, prizes and most importantly - floor space in this comedy/ reality hybrid where it's all fun and games until the wall closes in.

In this opening half of the battle, things get off to a shocking start with Welcome Drinks, they'll get power-mad in a game of House Rules, and get intimate over a popadom as they play Delishhhhhh. The battle is too big for one episode and concludes tomorrow night.

Battle in the Box comes to U and U&Dave on Tuesday 16th July.
