I take my hat off to Heydon and Jolyon – they’re so fearless – fearless and wild. I’m so proud that BBC Three has them on the channel.
Produced by Hat Trick Productions, best known for award-winning comedy series such as Have I Got News For You, Facejacker and Outnumbered, The Revolution Will Be Televised brings corruption, greed and hypocrisy to the fore and drags it to the court of public opinion in each unforgettable half hour.
Suzanne McManus, Commissioning Editor, BBC Entertainment, says: “The BAFTA-winning The Revolution Will Be Televised makes a very welcome return and I take my hat off to Heydon and Jolyon – they’re so fearless – fearless and wild. I’m so proud that BBC Three has them on the channel.”
Jimmy Mulville adds: “These two create memorable television and upset a lot of people. They certainly upset me.”
Sam Bickley, Channel Editor, BBC Three says: “Heydon and Jolyon are back - look out. Whoever said there’s no satire on British television is wrong. It’s alive and well and living on BBC Three."
Richard Wilson, Head of Comedy Entertainment at Hat Trick, concludes: “With two BAFTA nominations and repeats on BBC One, Heydon and Jolyon are achieving proper recognition and not just by the Secret Police guarding most government ministers and several foreign embassies. They may be two of the most unlikely sounding revolutionaries in history, but they have real conviction, a sharp sense of humour and an endless appetite for poking a wasps' nest with a stick.”
The Revolution Will Be Televised was created by Jolyon Rubinstein, Heydon Prowse and Joe Wade. It is executive produced by Mark Talbot for Hat Trick Productions. The series producer is Andy Brown for Hat Trick Productions.
