Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein, the pranksters behind The Revolution Will Be Televised, are coming to BBC2 with a new series in the new year.
In Revolting Prowse and Rubinstein target hypocrisy, the corrupt, the scandalous and the absurdity of modernity in a mix of sketches and stunts.
New characters include: Labour activists Penny and Robin - a Corbynite and Blairite - who are at odds with each other over every Labour policy they espouse; Duckface, an online slacktivist trying to save the world by using his #s to campaign against everything from landmines to leprosy (# loling for leprosy) and Denis Pound of UKIP canvassing for new policy ideas post Brexit.
And old favourites are back. Right wing news journalist Dale Mailey returns and Conservative MP, James Twottington-Burbage is reinstated as one to watch in Theresa May's new Cabinet.
Produced by Hat Trick Productions, best known for award-winning comedy series such as Have I Got News For You, Facejacker and Outnumbered, Revolting is executive produced by Mark Talbot for Hat Trick Productions. The Series Producer is Joshua Buckingham, the Directors are Errol Ettienne and Ollie Parsons and the show is co-created with Joe Wade. The Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Ruby Kuraishe.
