You’re acting like you own the place
Three imposters try to fool celebs into believing the house they’re visiting is their home
THIS new game show is as baffling as it is fascinating.
Stacey Dooley hosts as four people all claim to own the same house and be the same person. But only one of course can be telling the truth – the other three are actors.
It’s like an episode of Through The Keyhole that’s got way out of hand and turned into a Murder Mystery-type parlour game with added panto drama.
That’s not all. There’s also a celebrity panel – comedians Bill Bailey, Emily Atack, Judi Love and Jamali Maddix, joined this week
by guest panellist, designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
It’s down to them to look for clues and ultimately pick the true owner.
If they’re right, the homeowner wins a cash prize. If not, the homeowner wins nothing.
In this episode we meet four people claiming to be Fern Maxted, including an LA society girl and a former PR man who claims Fern is short for Fernando.

The dynamic is bizarre as the four start slating each other’s stories about living in the converted barn in Ashford, Kent, with Fern 1 becoming the villain of the piece.
“I was sold this town as an international hub, but it’s basically a glorified bus stop,” she says.
Everything gets increasingly strange as Stacey is toured round the home by all the Ferns.
There’s tension as we wonder which Fern the dog will run to, and it gets even more awkward when all four Ferns must cosy up to alleged husband Mark and discuss how they met.
