F*** Off, I'm Ginger was a BBC Three documentary about the body image and contrasting stereotypes surrounding ginger hair. It aired on 29 April 2007 as part of BBC's Body Image series including F*** Off, I'm Fat and F*** Off, I'm a Hairy Woman. It was presented by ginger haired comedian Dan Wright, and followed his attempts to get a date with any woman despite his hair colour. Wright's comedy partner Stephen Marsh also appeared. The documentary is about the life of a ginger haired person and how hard they, especially men, have it amongst the world around them. It aims to persuade people who discriminate against ginger hair to change their ways and respect ginger haired people just like any other person. It contained interviews with ginger haired actors Charlie Clements, in which he spoke about becoming typecast as a ginger actor, and about Bradley's portrayal as a geek in the show and Jennie McAlpine, who said she had never been bullied for being ginger. Several members of the public were also interviewed, including a redheaded man who had taken to dying his hair blond to avoid abuse and another ginger who moved to the United States to avoid what he considered discrimination in the UK.

Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested is a 2007 factual entertainment television show produced by RDF Television for BBC Three, presented by Anthea Turner and Mark Coltman, a professional pest control expert. The presenters visit people whose houses have pest control problems, give them advice and help them to exterminate vermin. Originally slated for six episodes, the BBC cut the series short after the third episode was broadcast. According to an interview with Anthea Turner, only the first three episodes were planned to be on bug infestations, although she did not specify what later episodes would cover. Critical reactions were very negative: James Watson at the Daily Telegraph described it as being both boring and exhibiting "grinding, excruciating pointlessness", while The Guardian's Nancy Banks-Smith described it as "frightful". Charlie Brooker thought Turner came across as "a hard, judgemental piece of work who spends most of her time haranguing the human inhabitants for living in filth", and the resulting programme feels like "a strange psychodrama in which the punters are caught between unfeeling vermin on one side, and an unfeeling former Blue Peter presenter on the other". Jeremy Paxman used it as an example of the perceived low quality and lack of public value of BBC Three programmes in an interview with the BBC chairman, Sir Michael Lyons, on Newsnight along with My Man Boobs and Me, My Dog Is As Fat As Me, Freaky Eaters and Fat Men Can't Hunt. The novelist P.D. James listed it as one of the BBC's "most embarrassing programmes".
