Tourist Trap is a British TV mockumentary-style comedy series following the fictional tourist board WOW Wales.[1] Sally Phillips heads the cast as the director of the organization.[2] The show was first broadcast on BBC One Wales in 2018 as part of the channel's Festival Of Funny.[3]
Production
Tourist Trap shares a production company (The Comedy Unit), executive producer (Rab Christie)[4] and some members of its production team with the stylistically similar shows Scot Squad and Soft Border Patrol,[5] which are broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Northern Ireland respectively. All three are semi-improvised sketch-shows, filmed in a mockumentary style and initially comprised stand-alone scenes set within the individual departments of the fictional organizations they follow. However in the Six Nations special and series 2 of Tourist Trap, the show began to deviate from this template as episodes would sometimes incorporate a narrative and the show also saw members of individual departments appear in other team's scenes.[5]
The show reflects contemporary Welsh events including the rugby team's performance,[6] the appearance of a new Banksy artwork in Port Talbot[7] and the increased popularity in DNA tourism.[8]
