The Revolution Will Be Televised is a British television satire show starring Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein, which was first screened on BBC Three in August 2012.[1][2] Writing for The Guardian, Sam Wollaston said it's "Sacha Baron Cohen with a bit more substance then, or Mark Steel with a few more laughs".[3] At the 2013 British Academy Television Awards, the show won Best Comedy Programme.[4]

Prowse and Rubinstein followed up The Revolution Will Be Televised with the TV film Brexageddon?! in 2016, then the prank/sketch show Revolting in 2017.
