BBC Studios has today launched a new digital-first comedy channel.
Funny Parts will feature three new commissions Hack Attack, Little Rants and Sound Off. It is available via YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
New episodes will be released daily with ten instalments of each title made available.
Athena Witter, Vice President of Programming at BBC Studios Digital Consumer Engagement, said: “Funny Parts offers both a home for our new digital-first comedy and entertainment content and also allows us to tap into a fantastic wealth of recent comedy content made for Gen-Z audiences. These three new commissions are a great example of our approach to developing, testing and delivering new shows direct to audiences.”
Hack Attack is a new ten-part gameshow where celebrity guests have to answer fiendish questions set by a mysterious Hacker or risk having their secrets released from their personal devices – if they fail, their cringey photos, dating app chat and online purchase history is revealed.
Little Rants sees ten celebrities get something off their chest that’s really been bugging them – whether that’s reaching the age where it’s no longer acceptable to to wear Disney princess dresses or the madness of delivery services.
Sound Off is a show that celebrates the new superstars of silent comedy. Bash the Entertainer and Elf Lyons try to outdo each other and make the other one laugh without making a sound.
The new series are part of a wider portfolio of original short-from content commissions from BBC Studios’ Digital Consumer Engagement team, covering genres including nature, science, fact ent, kids, drama and comedy.
