It's 2019 and society is wearing an adult nappy. In new BBC Three commission Blindboy Undestroys The World, Blindboy Boatclub, polemicist, author and man from comedy duo The Rubberbandits who wears a plastic bag on his head tries to find out why.
Taking in wrongdoers from small-time crooks to society wrecking multinationals, scam-endorsing celebrities to human traffickers and gangmasters, and mixing undercover reporting with comedy, commentary, pranks and analysis, Blindboy Undestroys the World looks at not just the criminals, or those gaming the system, but also what happened to get us here.
After a successful pilot about property, social housing and the rental crisis, this season Blindboy and his team take on issues including work and money, the chaos brought about by the internet, anxiety and modern slavery.
Kate Phillips, Controller of BBC Entertainment, says: “In this unique programme, Blindboy pushes the boundaries on ways entertainment shows can tackle serious topical issues which really matter to young people. Following his pilot on the housing crisis he’ll be tackling subjects such as human trafficking through to scam celebrity endorsements. It’s a funny, important show and not to be missed.”
Blindboy Undestroys The World is a four part series for BBC Three made by Rumpus Media. The Executive Producers are Iain Wimbush and James Cotter. It was commissioned by Damian Kavanagh, Former Controller of BBC Three and Kate Phillips, Controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning. The BBC commissioning editor is Ruby Kuraishe.
