I loved the BAFTA award-winning show The Revolution Will Be Televised so much, with its cutting satire and hilarious pranks tackling serious issues it was the perfect combination of silly and serious all in one.
It was a pleasure to chat with Heydon Prowse who along with Jolyon Rubenstein (E2) were the stars of the show as well as the writers too.
Hear how Heydon along with Joe Wade were already creating prank-style undercover videos about political stuff and then added Jolyon who brought new characters into the mix.
Together they spent almost a decade creating some of the best TV and getting into amazing situations sometimes quite dangerous but always hilariously entertaining and thought-provoking.
Heydon shares some great stories on how they planned the pranks and got access to places like the Hague, the Saudi Arabian Embassy and Google Headquarters as well as how they got out of more than a few sticky situations when they almost got caught.
He also shares his conflict around examining his own motivations, wondering if protest and activism really work and if being a critic is the best way to go in life.
Heydon is a deep, thoughtful, and funny guy and I can't wait to see what he does next.
