Back of the Y (also known as Back of the Y TV during series 1 and Back of the Y Masterpiece Television during series 2), is a cult New Zealand television series, created by Chris Stapp and Matt Heath.[1] The show glorified stunts and the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol, and took its name from the Hollywood special episode, which featured Randy Campbell jumping off the back of the "Y" of the famous Hollywood Sign.
