What happens

Just for Laughs is a British silent comedy/hidden camera television show, and the UK adaptation of the Canadian series of the same name, that began in Montreal in late 2000. It was broadcast on Saturday nights on BBC One. It was produced by Wild Rover Productions with Philip Morrow as producer. It started airing in 2003 and ran for five seasons, going off air in 2007. During its run, it was the only Saturday night entertainment show currently on BBC One to be produced by an independent television company based outside London. Just for Laughs was filmed all over the United Kingdom, primarily in and around Belfast, Glasgow and Leeds. The Belfast Botanic Gardens were a common filming location for doing some pranks. Just for Laughs has a Canadian sister version called Just for Laughs Gags, and the format of the two is identical. Some clips for Just for Laughs are taken directly from Just for Laughs Gags, and vice versa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
