Dom Joly - Trigger Happy TV

Details

Trigger Happy TV is more than a comedy show—it is a time capsule from a brief, unrepeatable moment in British culture. Emerging at the turn of the millennium, before smartphones, social media, and viral content transformed public behaviour, the series thrived on genuine reactions from unsuspecting members of the public. Dom Joly’s surreal pranks disrupted everyday life with a uniquely British blend of absurdity, deadpan humour, and anarchic charm, capturing a society that had not yet learned to perform for the camera.

Set against the backdrop of Cool Britannia and rapid technological change, Trigger Happy TV documented the last days of public anonymity, when confusion, awkwardness, and spontaneity were still authentic. This book explores the cultural, technological, and social forces that made the show possible, tracing its origins, impact, and enduring legacy. It reveals how a simple hidden-camera concept became a defining portrait of Britain on the cusp of a new era.

Your book is signed on a book plate by Dom Joly and comes in a bespoke Trigger Happy tote bag, with a set of four Trigger Happy TV badges.
