Blood, Sweat and T-shirts is a British TV documentary series, broadcast in 2008 on BBC Three.

The series followed six British fashion consumers aged between 20 and 24[1] as they travelled to India to live and work alongside Indian garment workers, making clothes destined for sale in British high-street stores.[2]

The series was nominated in the Best Factual Series category at the 2009 BAFTA Television Awards.[3] One of the participants in Blood, Sweat and T-shirts was Stacey Dooley, who went on to present a range of programmes for the BBC, starting off with the BBC Three documentary Stacey Dooley Investigates in 2009.[4][5][6]

The series was followed by Blood, Sweat and Takeaways in 2009, which focused on the food production in Asia,[7] and Blood, Sweat and Luxuries in 2010, which focused on the production of luxury goods in Africa.[8]
