Award-winning comedian Richard Herring pokes and prods a variety of controversial objects to find out if the controversy falls away. Via stand-up humor, vox pops and interviews, he examines the objects’ history, meaning, and significance and difficulties our assumed logic and stereotypes.

During the period of these shows Richard trains his beady eye on, among other things: the toothbrush moustache, Dolly the sheep, the St. George’s Flag and Page 3. Can we reclaim these items and prise them away from their regrettable organizations? Or should we consign them to the dustbin of history?
