In 2016, Mischief Theatre was offered the opportunity by the BBC to produce a televised adaptation of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, which aired in December 2016.

[17][18] In addition to the writers, the show also stars regular Mischief performers including Charlie Russell, Bryony Corrigan, Dave Hearn and Nancy Zamit.

[23] Ian D. Hall of Liverpool Sound and Vision named A Trial To Watch "one of the finest examples of farce to made it to television [sic] in years".

"[25] When reviewing the Christmas episode, Steve Bennett from Chortle said "while every mistake here is, of course, meticulously planned, they are pulled off with enough flair, commitment and occasional ingenuity to break all but the most cynical of viewers to laughter.

"[26] The show received a five-star review from Suzi Feay of the Financial Times, who said, "This stuff has to be directed and performed with pinpoint accuracy if it’s to succeed.

Fortunately, it’s perfectly, deliberately, terrible.”[27] In a negative review, Lottie Young of the Evening Standard called the first episode "embarrassingly bad" and argued that "the formula of slapstick comedy is more fossilised than old-fashioned.

[29] On 3 April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mischief Theatre began a watch-along of the episodes of the show on Twitter (with the hashtag #GoesWrongAlong), beginning with "90 Degrees".
