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.
The show returned for a review of the year on 29 December 2017 as Frankie Boyle's 2017 New World Order. Radio Times billed the show as "Frankie Boyle's 2017 New Year World Order".
The second series of seven episodes started on 18 May 2018. The data journalist Mona Chalabi became a regular in this series. Another end-of-year review show, Frankie Boyle's 2018 New World Order, was broadcast on 27 December 2018.
A third series began on 29 March 2019. Ryan was not in this series, having left the show. An end-of-year review show, Frankie Boyle's 2019 New World Order, was broadcast on 30 December 2019.
