The half-hour show comes from Hat Trick Productions. It was created by Jolyon Rubinstein, Heydon Prowse and Joe Wade.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRubinstein stated: &quot;There are lots of treats for our viewers in this new series. Even if our mug shots are up in the guardhouse at Sandhurst and we have been on the wrong end of a few too many machine guns, we still managed to get into the most extraordinary places and confront all sorts of people and institutions. It has been fascinating getting up close and personal with public figures and watching the public facade drop as they realize who we are. David Cameron, Nigel Farage, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg, Jeremy Hunt, Alex Salmond, Jack Straw&mdash;we got to them all. We also had fun with BBCOMG at the Cannes Film Festival. Many of the political figures were very good sports even though we were satirizing their policies&#8230; It was an epic 17 weeks of filming.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tProwse noted: &quot;We see our satire as a form of revenge in which no one gets hurt. We hope viewers old and new will find our sketches entertaining, informative, educational, funny and sometimes very silly. As for how we manage to get into the places that we do? Never underestimate the power of a high vis jacket! In the first show we manage to get into Google Headquarters with some enormous, colorful letters and we wandered around for more than an hour talking to staff and satirizing their Irish tax arrangements. We even discussed stopping off for lunch in their amazing cafe!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRubinstein added: &quot;As Monty Python said, &#039;No one expects the Spanish Inquisition&#039;&mdash;who in their right minds would march in with giant polystyrene letters? Getting to Cameron involved nerve-wracking strategic planning. There&#039;s no second take &ndash; you have to nail it first time. And some of the brands don&#039;t even realize that we have pulled off a stunt on their premises.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tProwse continued: &quot;There are no sacred cows. Not even the BBC, who continue to be very brave and bold with this show. We have new characters, and we will go after everyone making some very serious points whilst, we hope, grabbing the viewers&#039; attention by making them laugh.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSean Hancock, executive editor of entertainment for BBC Three, remarked: &quot;Heydon and Jolyon are fearless, smart and very funny and we&#039;re delighted to be working with them.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJimmy Mulville, co-founder of Hat Trick Productions, said: &quot;These two create memorable television and upset a lot of people. They certainly upset me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tZai Bennett, controller of BBC Three, stated: &quot;Heydon and Jolyon are completely fearless and slightly insane. We love them.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRichard Wilson, executive producer, commented: &quot;Heydon and Jolyon may be two of the most unlikely sounding revolutionaries in history, but they have real conviction, a sharp sense of humor and an endless appetite for poking a wasps&#039; nest with a stick. If the number of people who have threatened to punch them continues to be translated into viewers, we&#039;ll have another hit on our hands.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: The Revolution Will Be Televised, a satirical comedy series, has returned to BBC Three.
