Sorry, I've Got No Head is a CBBC children's sketch comedy. The programme's cast originally consisted of William Andrews, David Armand, James Bachman, Marcus Brigstocke, Anna Crilly, Justin Edwards, Mark Evans, Mel Giedroyc, Marek Larwood and Nick Mohammed. It is written by cast members Evans, Edwards and Armand, as well as Toby Davies and Chris Reddy, amongst others.

The first series began in 2008, where sketches included Jasmine and Prudith, who think everything will cost "a thousand pounds"; the Witchfinder General, who calls people witches and witchmen show up to take them away; the Fearless Vikings, who are scared of everything; and Ross from the Outer Hebrides, who has the dubious distinction of being the only pupil in a school with just one teacher.

The second series began in 2009 and feature three new cast members; Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Fergus Craig and Toby Davies. Marek Larwood did not return. New sketches include Embarrassed Louise, who struggles to deal with an unusual problem; an angry Snowman, who battles for equality in everyday life; and a sitcom featuring a family of dung beetles.

The third series started in May 2011 and also a spin off series featuring what the video game characters from the sketch "Backstage Access" get up to in their spare time. This spin-off series is called "Pixelface" and began airing in January 2011. Javone Prince and Marek Larwood appeared in the new series. [2]

The show started airing on YTV Canada in late 2009, and season 2 started airing in late 2010. [3]
