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][3]

The series was followed by Blood, Sweat and Takeaways in 2009, which focused on the food production in Asia,[5] and Blood, Sweat and Luxuries in 2010, which focused on the production of luxury goods in Africa.[6] Stacey Dooley, one of the participants, has presented several shows for BBC Three since 2009 under the title Stacey Dooley Investigates.[7][8][9]
