Prank Patrol was a super fun British TV show where kids got to play awesome pranks on their friends! It was based on a similar show from Canada. The show aired on CBBC, a channel known for great kids' programs. It was hosted by the energetic Barney Harwood.

How the Show Worked

This show was all about surprising your friends! Here's how it usually went:

  • A child would secretly nominate one of their friends to be pranked.
  • Then, the host, Barney Harwood, and his team of ninjas would arrive in a special van.
  • They would help the child plan and set up an amazing prank at a secret place called Prank HQ.
  • Sometimes, they even got help from experts to make the prank extra special.
  • After everything was ready, it was "Prank Day," the day the big surprise would happen!
