Including interview by Frank Skinner

Russell Brand is to be the subject of an hour-long Channel 4 documentary.

The show will feature behind-the-scenes footage and an ‘in-depth’ interview by Frank Skinner.

Cameras followed Brand backstage and traveling as he took his Scandalous stand-up tour to New York, Australia and Britain.

Expected to air on Channel 4 this winter, the show has the working title of The Road to Russell Brand: Skinned.

A spokesman said: ‘The documentary not only tells the story of the Scandalous tour but also touches upon Russell's rise to fame, sexual notoriety and first hand experience of the media storm around Sachsgate.’

The show was commissioned by Channel 4 comedy commissioning editor Shane Allen and Head of E4 Angela Jain.
