Kidding

Tuesday 31 March

Sky Comedy, 9.35pm

Jim Carrey returns as Jeff Piccirillo, the publicly beloved but personally tormented children’s television presenter of Mr Pickles’ Puppet Time.

As the end of the first series saw the indefinite pause of Puppet Time, Jeff must now find a new way to communicate with fans in need of guidance.

His answer may be effective, but it’s controversial, and he’ll have to deal with the fallout while confronting his grey morality that continues to complicate personal matters.

Inspired by Fred Rogers, Kidding is a timely reminder to strive for optimism in the face of adversity.

 

Stacey Dooley Investigates: Spycam Sex Criminals

Wednesday 1 April

BBC Three

Dooley investigates a new sex crime sweeping South Korea called molka, whereby women are secretly filmed with hidden cameras in private spaces.

The illegalisation of pornography in the country has led to the development of this DIY alternative, as many have started producing their own content using smart phones.

Other increasingly sophisticated technologies are making it even easier to hide the cameras, with some as small as the head of a needle being used to record toilet cubicles, showers and changing rooms. 6000 cases were reported to police in 2018 alone.

Dooley speaks to both victims and perpetrators, and joins a leading spycam hunter on patrol.
