Blunder was a Channel 4 comedy sketch series shown in the UK on E4 and repeated on Channel 4. No announcement of a second series has yet been made.

Characters

The Baron

The Baron's vulgarity is infamous for he uses obscene language such as "Jizz-face". Channel 4 were criticised by Ofcom for allowing this to be aired. Channel 4 said in their defence a lot of other more offensive bad language has been used for the same time slot. Ironically Channel 4 did issue a spoof apology at the end of the second episode which was interrupted by a barrage of insults from the baron.Another common criticism of The Baron is that his character is very similar to that of The Hitcher from 'The Mighty Boosh' (A show which pre-dates Blunder by a number of years)
