Andy holds open auditions to find the next generation of lookalikes, with the help of his trusted friend 'David Brent'. Lily Allen lookalike Hayley is also attempting to boost Andy's prospects by training up some of his young pop-star lookalikes to create a lookalike girl band. The only problem is that 'Taylor Swift' and 'Rita Ora' can't sing, and 'Cheryl' can't do a Geordie accent.

Press
New series of the weird structured reality series documenting goings-on at a lookalike agency. David Beckham is the boss - that's not the real Becks, but impersonator Andy Harmer. On his books are lookalikes for celebrities from Helen Mirren to Harry Potter, and what an entertaining bunch they are. Harmer is planning a big relaunch, so he goes in search of new talent, but it's not easy to find. In the light of these slim pickings, will the addition of one or two controversial new faces save the day?
