From 2007 to 2010 through the worst years of the recent financial crisis this great nations children were kept sustained by one man; Barney Harwood. His show Prank Patrol kept us going when all seemed lost in the world. With the current political climate getting ever more turbulent we need BBC3 to bring back Prank Patrol as a show and tour for university students and young adults. Barney Harwood, you're the hero this country and very specific generation of children from 18 to 25 need right now.
