Britain Behaving Badly - ITV Digital

Britain Behaving Badly is a 10 part series for the ITV digital channel Men and Motors and will be broadcast in November 2005.

From the anti social behaviour of the tabloid named ‘Lotto Lout’ Michael Carroll, who at the age of 20 won £9.7m and the unofficial title of ‘King of Chavs’…

...to an insider’s view of the life and exploits of ex-‘gangster’ Dave Courtney, as he wires up his home for his own pay per view web television channel and launches his own full length thriller, “Hell to Pay”…

...and the two year journey for Brad ‘One Punch’ Pickett from plumber to Cage Fighting British title holder…

...to the antics and reputation-enhancing behaviour of young Brits abroad in Magaluf where the 3 S’s of "Sun, Sea and Sex" are only matched by the 3 B’s of "Blokes, Birds and Booze".

Add to that mix the workers and customers of the North West of England’s sex industry; both the dealers and the users of heroin and crack cocaine and many more potential situations and people that could be brought together under the title of Britain Behaving Badly.

The series is a Bite Yer Legs production for ITV.
