Watch BBC Three's 2013 iPlayer comedy pilots

BBC Three Comedy Feeds 2013

BBC Three has released eight new pilots on iPlayer as part of its on-going attempt to find new comedy series. The pilots, a mix of sketch shows and sitcoms now branded 'Comedy Feeds', star the likes of Nick Helm, Kerry Howard and Totally Tom.

The BBC will analyse which shows, if any, the audience likes before deciding on which to put on TV. From last year's batch - called Feed My Funny - full series of People Just Do Nothing and Impractical Jokers were ordered.

Below is a list of the 2013 Comedy Feeds pilots, with preview clips and links to watch the full episodes on iPlayer. They're available to watch for two years - expiring 1st July 2015.
