Shows like bad robots

Bad Robots is a British television prank show on E4. It began on 11 November 2014 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 Industries'.

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 and was written and performed by Lee Kern, who played a prototype version of what was to become the show's primary robot, "BOT". It was subsequently commissioned for a full series of 6 episodes to air on E4.
