At the end of 2019, Channel 4 commissioned Mother's Best Child to make THE B@IT, a series of satirical comedy specials that look like real news but pranks those too quick to share or comment.
Following the success of the first batch, MBC have created new episodes. From the woman who upcycles sex toys, to the man who lost his job thanks to a tattoo and the woman who’ll dump your partner for you for a fee.
Find information about the new episodes below and watch all the episodes so far on YouTube and Facebook here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrCB_s2kyAA and here https://www.facebook.com/Channel4/videos/2080898505380309/
