From a satirical point of view, there are two ways of looking at the EU referendum aftermath. The first is that it's an inexhaustible goldmine. The second is that its absurdities render mockery redundant. Still, even if it's a pointless job, someone might as well do it. Enter Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein, the prank-happy pair behind The Revolution Will Be Televised. Remainers and Leavers alike should expect a righteous kicking.

Nick Duerden, The Independent, 1st March 2015

The last time we met Conservative MP James Twottington-Burbage and Lib Dem Barnaby Plankton, they were surreptitiously fixing "Kick Me" signs to Ed Miliband's back and advising council estate residents to remortgage their children. In this spin-off from BBC Threes The Revolution Will Be Televised, Jolyon Rubinstein and Heydon Prowse return with more hidden camera pranks. Will clueless Labour MP Ewan Jeffries or prospective Ukip candidate Dennis Pound fare better with the public?
