Prank Patrol (British TV series)

Prank Patrol is a British children's television series that originally aired on CBBC from 2006 to 2013. The show centered around kids pranking their friends or family members with the help of a ninja-like prank expert, known as a "Prank Ninja".

Each episode typically featured a young contestant, referred to as a "Prankster," who wanted to pull off a specific prank. The Prankster would meet with the Prank Ninja, who would then guide them through the planning, construction, and execution of the prank. The pranks were often elaborate and involved special effects, set design, and sometimes even assistance from the Prank Ninja's team.

The original Prank Ninja was Lee Delong (2006-2008), followed by Dan Mersh (2009-2010), and finally Barney Harwood (2010-2013), who simultaneously served as the show's presenter. Other presenters throughout the show's run included Dave Chapman and Helen Skelton.

The show's popularity led to international versions, including Prank Patrol Australia and Prank Patrol Canada, reflecting the program's successful format of combining mischievous fun with creative problem-solving. The general premise across all versions remained the same: helping kids pull off memorable pranks.
