Strip Search (TV series)

Strip Search (TV series)

"Strip Search" is a reality television series, first broadcast in 2001.

The series follows the search for a new troupe of male strippers from audition to the final live show. First broadcast in Australia in 2001, versions have been made in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States.

The format is virtually identical in each series: men are invited to audition for the show, and during a number of tasks, including a boot camp, the numbers are whittled down until the final troupe perform for a live audience.

The original Australian troupe was called "Aussie Storm". In the same vein, the New Zealand troupe was called "KiwiFire", the UK troupe was named "UK Storm", the Canadian group was dubbed "Canadian Thunder" and the American troupe was named "American Storm". The series was masterminded by Billy Cross, an Australian entrepreneur who had success on the Las Vegas Strip with an Australian troupe entitled "Manpower".

Controversy

The series generated some controversy in the UK, when one of the finalists, Warren Hudson, organised various protests alleging the show was a scam, and that the promise of work as a result of the series never materialised.
