I'm Spazticus is a brand new prank show featuring disabled performers pranking able-bodied members of the public.
A mix of hidden camera show and mock doc, with a studio-based element, the show will feature a number of recurring characters as well as one-offs.
I'm Spazticus aims to be a fresh, cheeky, irreverent take on the prank show.
A pilot, first aired on Channel 4 in 2005, won a Superfest International Disability Award.
The Guardian said of the pilot: "As well as being very funny, it does highlight the fascinating and problematic interface between disabled and able-bodied people... More important, though, is that it's the funniest thing that's been on TV for a long time. Absolutely hilarious".
The National Disability Arts Forum said: "And if disabled people are seen to be doing TV with panache and flair this has got to be an improvement on the usual investigative 55 minutes of misery that is offered up as our lives."
