Trigger Happy TV is a hidden camera/practical joke reality television series. The original British edition of the show, produced by Absolutely Productions, starred Dom Joly and ran for two series on the British television channel Channel 4 from 2000 to 2003. Although Channel 4 is owned and operated by the Channel Four Television Corporation, he made a name for himself as the sole star of the show, which he produced and directed with cameraman Sam Cadman.

Among other gems: the spy risks blowing his cover, the kitchen showroom falls down in the catering department, and the aggressive ice-cream vendor loses it completely.
It's Ken Livingstone's turn to ask some questions when his interviewer turns violent. Elsewhere, the Parkie sorts out some pensioners whom he suspects of creating merry hell with fire-extinguisers, and two enormous gentlemen cause a public inconvenience...
A passer-by gets a blind tasting with a difference, Tamara Beckwith is the subject of a drunken interview, and the Parkie takes on some old-skool old folk.
