Bad Robots is a British television prank show on E4. It began on 11 November 2014[1] and airs on Tuesday evenings at 22:00 and is repeated on E4+1 at 23:00.
The show is made by Objective Productions and is centred on a fleet of seemingly defective and mischievous machines, devices and robots, produced by the fictional company 'Tezcorp'.
Unsuspecting members of the public are filmed using these everyday machines, resulting in wind-up pranks and hidden camera laughs.
Bad Robots was originally commissioned as a 'Comedy Blap' by Channel 4 in late 2013.[2] It was subsequently commissioned for a full series of 6 episodes to air on E4.
The series was created by Nathan Eastwood, directed by Paul Routledge and written and produced by Ben Spiteri.
Motion graphics for the series were created by Compost Creative.
Bad Robots features a host of comedy talent providing voices for the machines, including Michael Gambon, Simon Greenall, Rob Delaney, Terry Mynott, Diane Morgan and Tom Allen.
The first episode drew an average audience figure of 338,000.[citation needed]
