## Summary

Comedian and actor Rasmus Wallbridge was secretly filmed for four months while believing he was directing a comedy-horror film, in a prank series that has drawn widespread condemnation in Denmark. TV2, a major public broadcaster, apologised, removed the programme from its services and opened an internal investigation.

The six-part show, *Alle elsker Rasmus* (*Everyone Loves Rasmus*), involved 149 people, including Wallbridge’s friends and celebrities, pretending to work on the film. The filming took place shortly after he welcomed a newborn and kept him away from his family; the broadcaster said participants should have known the recording’s purpose. TV2’s content chief said the series should never have been made or broadcast, while Denmark’s culture minister called it a clear breach of the broadcaster’s ethical guidelines.
