The Unofficial Science of Home Alone Set for Sky Max

Naked has secured its first commission with Sky, for the feature-length The Unofficial Science of Home Alone.

The 90-minute program will see comedians James Acaster, Guz Khan and Alex Brooker examine the viability of the deadly traps set for the inept burglars in the classic 1990 comedy Home Alone. It is set to air on December 19 on Sky Max and NOW.

The Unofficial Science of Home Alone was co-produced by Naked and Motion Content Group.

Tom O’Brien, creative director of Naked, said: “Home Alone is the category-killing family Christmas movie. Finding a way to celebrate, explore and experiment around it, whilst also making our first show for Sky, has been a special experience. Gregor Lauder and his team have made a truly fantastic holiday treat.”

Phil Edgar-Jones, director of Sky Arts and head of entertainment at Sky, added: “The Unofficial Science of Home Alone is the perfect Christmas accompaniment for those avid and die-hard Home Alone fans. Naked have produced a truly nostalgic and riotous program that is charismatically brought to life by James, Guz and Alex.”
