Workerbee | Our Work

Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall stars in our brand-new Christmas Special Jack In Time For Christmas, which launches exclusively on Prime Video worldwide this December.
 
This hilariously festive feature sees Jack Whitehall find himself stranded in the USA with just four days to make it back to the UK for Christmas. With time ticking away, Jack embarks on an incredible and, some would say, implausible journey involving planes, trains, huskies, and bobsleighs. A stockingful of conveniently located famous faces help (and hinder) along the way as Jack navigates the chaos of Christmas and tries to make it home in time.
 
Part scripted comedy, part unscripted travelogue – Jack is joined by Michael Bublé, Dave Bautista, Rebel Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Daisy May Cooper, and Tom Davies, who deliver a sparkling international cast and heaps of laughter. Will Jack make it home in time to make the gravy? Or will he be spending the holidays in the states, and the doghouse?
 
The special is produced by Workerbee and Jackpot Productions.

Holly Willoughby hosts this action-packed competition show that sees a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Costa Rican jungle as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls.  

Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all - even the celebs - but how strong is their will to survive? As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’ – a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself and, if captured, eliminated from the show.

Unprecedented access into the lives of four of Britain's best boxers: Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Lennox Lewis. 

The series explores how the men overcame racial prejudice whilst breaking down barriers for black British athletes, as they transitioned into the mainstream media.

An intimate insight into the boxers' lives reveal how they battled their own demons, throughout their careers and in retirement, and their struggles with mental health issues and the cost of the sacrifices made in order to create a legacy and pave the way and for those who follow in their footsteps.

That Peter Crouch Film Cover

The true story behind football’s most unlikely hero. Belittled for his height; shunted from club to club; all logic suggests that he should not have had a successful career. For Crouch, it was a long, arduous journey to reach the top – filled with twists, stumbling blocks, self-doubt, and alienation.


Now, after nearly 25 years since signing his first professional contract, Peter Crouch has only one question to ask himself…How the hell did he get here?


His gigantic achievements have thrust him to become one of the biggest footballers to ever grace The Premier League. Standing at a towering 6’7”, he’s an exclusive member of ‘The 100 Club’, he’s made over 460 appearances on the pitch, with 42 caps under his belt, scoring 22 goals for England. And his robotic goal celebration made him a figure in pop culture.


In this premium archive documentary, we will relive his early beginnings under his father’s watchful eye, to his career under some of the biggest teams on the planet.
