Bad Robots renewed for second series by E4

Bad Robots

Objective Productions has been commissioned to make a second series of the highly successful hidden camera show, Bad Robots, for E4.

The prank show of our time sees a host of mischievous machines from the fictional company TezCorp Industries cause havoc for individuals by making everyday tasks an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Using new technology to create infuriating situations and computer-generated pranks, the first series of the hit show averaged at 439,000 viewers, up 28% on the slot average. Voiced by a raft of talent including Rob Delaney, with Sir Michael Gambon as the eponymous robot, the show had above average 4oD downloads, regularly trended on Twitter, and also received critical acclaim, being referred to as ‘innovative’, ‘frequently hilarious’ and ‘an absolute joy’.

“We are so pleased with the success of the first series and can’t wait to unleash the troublemaking machines on the unknowing public once again”. -Channel 4 Commissioner, Laura Riseam

The six-instalment second series will see the return of some favourite menacing machines, from photo booths to pub quiz machines and robots standing in for humans at every possible opportunity. Joining the ranks will be some brand new automated hell raisers who, as with series one, will frequently be having the last laugh at the expense of humans.

The pre-watershed Bad-ish Robots will also be back for family friendly trouble which will have kids and parents alike in stitches.
