Channel 4 is sending Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding to Japan.

The surreal comic will present the one-off, hour-long show Only in Japan (w/t) which takes a closer look at the massive culture of wacky Japanese gameshows.

Japan is famed for its bizarre gameshow formats, and Fielding will be examining the strangest, weirdest and most wonderful shows he can find!

Once he has got to grips with the distinctive Japanese culture, Fielding will challenge two teams of famous faces to take on some of the toughest gameshow challenges from the Land of the Rising Sun to find out if a Japanese gameshow could ever work in the UK.

Only in Japan is produced by Rumpus Media.
