New series of ‘Faking It’ takes controversial turn.

From the press release from 'Channel Five':
"This young lady went from alive to dead in just a few days, thanks to our crack team of 'corpse trainers'; actors who have appeared in countless episodes of 'The Bill' and 'Casualty' on anything from a morgue slab to a hospital trolley. She worked for week to eventually make it through to a final where she had to lie down alongside four real corpses, then a group of celebrity mortuary attendants had to guess which one was the faker. We don't want to spoil the surprise about who won, but let's just say that all those hours training a hand-picked group of flies to swarm out of her mouth on cue wasn't wasted". Presented by Richard Blackwood.

Actually I read this story a few weeks ago. A little girl was lying on the ground outside her house sleeping or playing dead or something right while the nice folk in the Google van were driving past. The neighbours, committed Street View hawks that they were, decided that she was dead and raised the alarm. Cue tired human-interest barrel-scraping from the press. Anyway, there you go.
