Airdate: Head First

Next week ABC2 begins a new locally produced series which will appeal to you if you like issue-based shows where a presenter goes deep undercover. Think Louis Theroux or John Safran.

Head First, produced by Mushroom Pictures, is presented by Sabour Bradley.

In the first episode he travels to Ghana to try and bust internet scammers. And things gets pretty tense….

Sabour Bradley dives head first into the secret world of everyday Australians.

From sex tapes to Aussies in Syria and so much more, Head First is a series about everyday Australians living extraordinary lives in hidden worlds.

Welcome to the world of internet love scams, celebrity sex tapes, Aussie freedom fighters, people born in the wrong bodies and teens living under the Intervention.

Armed with a mischievous sense of humour and a willingness to get involved in the action, Sabour Bradley wants to take you inside those worlds, and the only way to do that is to dive in… Head First.
