Production

Started to be aired on TV in May 2006 – May 2007. ''Prank Patrol'' was cancelled by the BBC due to an unconnected incident where Australian radio presenters fooled a hospital employee into believing they were members of the UK Royal Family so as to learn more about a member of the family who was undergoing treatment there. This employee then took her own life.
