The 13-part series 'Undercover Dads' starts next month on children's channel CBBC. It is aimed at five- to 12-year-olds.
Each week the 'Nan Van' will visit a different location and family home. Each contestant in the series will have gone to 'Nanny Boot Camp' to learn to walk, talk and act like a 'lady', and then undergo a Mrs Doubtfire-style makeover, sitting in the makeup chair for five hours and using state-of-the-art prosthetics to become the fictional eccentric TV expert 'Mega Nanny'. The host of the show, Dave Chapman, will set each contestant a series of tough and messy challenges.
The father's mission will be to spend two days unrecognised in his own home looking after his own children. If he is recognised the game is over, but if his identity remains a secret and he proves that he knows his children better than ever, he wins a range of family prizes.
