''The Trews'' is a YouTube web series by English comedian, actor and activist Russell Brand, that was published on YouTube from February 2014 to August 2015. ''The Trews'' featured Brand offering his take on media as it appears in newspapers, television clips or advertisements, as well as Brand responding to comments from viewers. The show occasionally featured interviews with celebrities, activists or other guests. The series is produced, directed and edited by Gareth Roy, a producer who has worked on numerous projects with Brand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gareth Roy )〕 In March 2015, the channel surpassed 1 million subscribers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russell Brand The Trews (E269) )〕 The 300th ''Trews'' episode was posted on 16 April 2015. At the end of April 2015, the week before the general election, ''The Trews'' received significant international coverage after Labour leader Ed Miliband appeared on the show for an interview. On 20 August 2015, Brand uploaded the 366th ''Trews'' video and announced it would be the final episode, saying "I think we've come as far as we can with ''The Trews''... for now." == About == The show's name is a portmanteau of "true" and "news" and debuted on 27 February 2014. With few exceptions a new episode was uploaded each weekday. The show's premise, according to Brand, was to provide "the true news so you don't have to invest any money in buying newspapers that charge you for the privilege of keeping your consciousness imprisoned in a tiny box of ignorance and lies."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russell Brand's YouTube Channel: About )〕 The series initially began with a focus on the content of Britain's daily tabloids, but quickly expanded to international events and global media coverage. The unscripted episodes typically feature Brand as he watches "video clips from various news outlets and pauses them to analyze the hidden agendas, often based in racial or class prejudices, and break down the truth of each issue based on scientific and factual information." His guests on the show have included economists, activists, journalists and entertainers. He also regularly presents "comments edition" episodes, in which he responds to viewer feedback. Brand's status as a comedian doing a show with political commentary has led to comparisons to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, though Brand's approach is more "low-key."〔 The series was typically filmed in a casual style at Brand's house in the Shoreditch district in the East End of London or in the car with Brand. According to journalist Kristian Markus, the format establishes "an intimate connection with his viewers, portraying himself not as some impenetrably pristine star fans are only to admire from a distance, but as a fellow citizen of the world who seeks connection with the people and world outside." A few episodes have been filmed at rallies, where Brand interviews activists about their causes. A theme song for the show, performed by The Rubberbandits, debuted in April 2014. The show's logo features Brian, a white Alsatian dog, that belongs to Brand's ex-girlfriend, journalist and activist Jemima Khan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Trews (Russell Brand)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
