Man fined over Trigger Happy stunt
![]() Trigger Happy TV won a BBC Two award last year
Three fans of Channel 4's Trigger Happy TV staged a mock mugging in a post office to fool the public, a court has heard.
Staff and customers at the post office in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, thought they saw a postman being set upon by two teenagers in December.
All three have pleaded guilty to the charges at Southend Magistrates Court, and 23-year-old Paul Booth, from nearby Westcliffe, was fined £100 by the court. Two teenagers will be sentenced next month. Outside the court, Mr Booth told reporters he was a fan of Trigger Happy TV and its host, Dom Joly. The series, which made its debut on Channel 4 last year, features Joly conning celebrities and the public with surreal stunts - such as Joly bellowing into an outsized mobile phone, while walking past famous landmarks. A new series is currently running on Channel 4's new digital service E4.
