The death penalty the revolution will be televised
Programme content

The programme is a montage of satirical pranks and sketches carried out by Prowse and Rubinstein to "fight back" against "a world full of hypocrisy, corruption and greed." Sometimes assuming fictional characters, most of the show's content consists of the two presenters making a mockery of the wrongdoings of politicians, bankers, and that in other current affairs, in an attempt to try to emphasise its immorality. The public involved usually has no idea that what is being carried out is satire, and are usually fooled by the antics of Rubinstein and Prowse, which leads to some interesting reactions.

Series 2

The second series of the show was first broadcast on BBC Three on 10 November 2013. Co-creator Jolyon Rubinstein confirmed via Twitter that the second series would start on 10 November 2013. Sam Wollaston of The Guardian said that "It's outrageous and audacious to the point that it's sometimes painful to watch. Hilarious, though".
Series 3

It was announced in September 2014 that the show would return for a third series including items filmed in the United States.
