First piloted during the 2012 Paralympics, all this hidden camera show proves is that disabled people can be as unfunny as the able-bodied. If the intention was to highlight prejudice, that's failed too: faced with talking guide dogs, or six dwarf pallbearers carrying a fallen Happy, the Great British Punk'd are unfailingly helpful. Meanwhile, getting Brian Belo and Towie's Lauren Goodger to front a group protesting against the grafting of monkey arms on to amputees isn't so much fish in barrels as elephants in teacups.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 14th August 2013Political correctness flies out of the window in this hidden-camera comedy show. It's You've Been Framed with disabilities, as both the public and desperate sort-of celebs (hello Brian Belo, Lauren Goodger and Frankie Cocozza) get duped by a bunch of dwarves, amputees and blind people. It's hit-and-miss but watching Belo's impassioned plea to stop the inhumane practice of grafting monkey arms on to humans is sickly amusing. Come on, it's 'armless fun.
