The Revolution Will Be Televised (2012)
Dire, unfunny, biased tripe.
I once read a very good description of The Revolution Will Be Televised- "Imagine taking Private Eye and removing all the funny bits and substituting fact for lazy prejudice. That's TRWBT." This show should single handedly make every license fee payer eligible for a refund. Of roughly 1hr 30 minutes worth of footage, I have seen approximately 5 seconds worth of material that was vaguely funny. It also couldn't care less about the BBC's guidelines on impartiality, as it seems to take as its life mission ridiculing anyone and anything that can be classed as vaguely "right wing" with lazy, left-winger stereotypes and never, ever touching anything vaguely "left wing", unless it is to hold it up as a paragon of virtue against whatever "right wing" thing they are mocking. A truly pathetic show that dirties the good name of satire.
