Preview - Britain's Greatest Hoaxer

Continuing Channel 4's Fake News Week, this documentary looks at how the comedian Simon Brodkin has found fame (and possibly infamy among some people) with his hoaxes.

Simon Brodkin makes part of his living as "chav" character Lee Nelson, but he atones for that in his other life as a prankster, targeting the undeservingly rich and powerful. We follow him as he punctures the patriotic puffery of Britain's Got Talent, entering the competition as a rapping rabbi; re-christens Philip Green's yacht the BHS Destroyer; and pulls off a satisfying stunt against Donald Trump involving Nazi golf balls.
