Quintessential Comedy | Devoted to British Comedy

[singlepic=39,320,240,,right]Following in the footsteps of Bill Bailey, Brian Blessed and Kirsty Young in this series, top standup comic Lee Mack is in the hotseat this week as he asks the questions and attempts to keep Paul Merton in check.

I can only forsee some superb comedy, to be frank - they are two of the countries best comedic minds and sticking them in the same room together can only be a good thing!

It’s wonderful to see, too, the series continuing to be as strong as it was when it first began.  Angus Deayton seems a distant memory now, and somehow Ian Hislop has become funnier.  Paul Merton’s flights of fancy may be less in-depth in the broadcast versions these days, but the whole package is a tight, self contained piece of news and politics expertly ripped to shreds, and is a please to watch every week
