Trigger Happy TV is a hidden camera/practical joke comedy television series. The original British edition of the show, produced by Absolutely Productions, starred Dom Joly and ran for three series on the British television channel Channel 4 from 2000 to 2003. Joly made a name for himself as the sole star of the show, which he produced and directed with cameraman Sam Cadman. Trigger Happy TV and World Shut Your Mouth, his other major show, would both be categorised as deadpan or "dry humour".
The show returned again featuring Joly, produced by Spirit Media, as a series of shorts on All 4 and for a one-off Christmas special on Channel 4 after 13 years, airing Christmas Eve 2016. A second series[1] of shorts on All 4 followed and a one-off special on E4 in 2017.
