What happens

Revolting is a British sketch/prank TV show starring Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein, which aired for five episodes in 2017 on BBC Two. It is a follow-up to The Revolution Will Be Televised, a similar comedy show starring the two, which aired on BBC Three from 2012 to 2015. Revolting includes characters from the previous show like the fictional Tory MP James Twottington-Burbage, as well as new characters like Duckface, a self-important online activist. One sketch on the show which notably caused controversy was "The Real Housewives of ISIS", a parody of The Real Housewives reality television franchise, set among the wives of terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
