Maintenance A Television infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the instructions.

I got a bit confused along the way while editing this. Are we sticking to British or American spellings/terminology (i.e. 'programme' or 'show') for the article? It's a British show, that's why I ask. CaptainSpam 16:08, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dom's Whereabouts

Does anyone know if Dom is doing anything new these days in terms of any new television shows or movies? Mkaycomputer 03:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I dont think so.. he writes a column for The Independent now and again, but thats all i know. -- jeffthejiff (talk) 08:52, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
He has a blog here: domjoly.tv. He responds to comments on there, and there aren't too many comments, so I'll contact him through there and ask him if he can contribute any information about upcoming shows, etc. I really hope he's doing another hidden camera show in the future.. Trigger Happy TV was the best.. --Josh1billion 07:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consent to appear on TV

Added a comment that passers-by must have been told at some point in order for them to allow footage to be used; in Channel 4's "100 greatest funny moments" (where this show hit 3rd) Dom Joly mentions that, when filming a scene celebrating a sex shop's "1,000,000th customer", multiple takes had to be made because the customers kept running off before their consent could be gained.

[edit] Dada influences

The programme's surreal sketches have been described as being influenced by Dada

It's not that I question the statement, I'm just wondering about the source of the statement. A footnote would be suitable. Sarnath 12:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Sarnath

[edit] Complete Trigger Happy TV?

Is there a complete box set, all I can seem to find is Best of DVDs.84.64.143.241 13:12, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It's never been released complete in the UK on any format. Nick Cooper 13:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
However you can download the complete series from 4oD (www.channel4.com/4od/index.html) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.171.169 (talk) 23:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Theme Tune

Surely there should be some mention of the fact that Trigger Happy TV's theme tune was built on Wire's "Three Girl Rumba"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.97.210 (talk) 13:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
