Slap Fighting: Uncovered TX: Channel 4 Documentaries on Sunday 9th November 2025
Thomas Pullen, Digital Commissioning Executive, said: “Slap fighting has been dominating algorithms the world over. It’s brutal, bizarre and impossible to look away from. Elliot’s investigation sensitively pulls back the curtain on this growing phenomenon, diving into a world that’s as gripping as it is dangerous. Slap Fighting: Uncovered is adrenaline-charged, thought-provoking viewing that’ll have audiences watching through their fingers right to the final slap!” (Channel 4 Press Release)
Jackie Doyle, executive producer for Recorded Time, said: "It’s been a real eyeopener, watching Elliot and the team get to grips with slap fighting, so thanks to Channel 4 and Northern Ireland Screen for setting us all off on this journey. The film presents conflicts on the stage but also in our own heads as we join with Elliott in juggling the risks and rewards and rights and wrongs of this growing phenomenon. It’s a credit to Elliot, our slap fighters Louis and Craig and director Angus Gibson that we remain captivated and conflicted to end.” (Channel 4 Press Release)
