Frankie Boyle's New World Order

Frankie Boyle's New World Order is a British comedy television programme presented by Frankie Boyle. Following on from his BBC iPlayer-exclusive "Autopsy" shows, Boyle returned to prime time TV on BBC Two. New World Order follows a very similar structure to the aforementioned programmes. After a few minutes of stand-up, Boyle makes two statements and discusses them with his guests. Boyle then summarises the debate in a short monologue to camera, unlike the "Autopsy" shows where each discussion concluded with the studio audience voting on whether they agreed with the statement. Each show finishes with Boyle sitting against the desk delivering a final longer monologue to camera. The show was premiered on 8 June 2017. In the first series, Sara Pascoe and Katherine Ryan appear as regular guests, with two other comedians, writers or journalists joining the panel each week.[1]
