I like to write a bit about comedy, perhaps contribute to NewsBiscuit.com and perhaps I even fancy myself as a standup...

[singlepic=60,320,240,,right]A superb episode of Would I Lie To You? this week proved without a shadow of a doubt that despite the dry acerbic put downs of Angus Deayton and the cheerful northern humour of Lee Mack, David Mitchell is without a doubt the show’s star.

Not bad going either, as this week he was up against Hugh Dennis, no stranger to comedy panel game shows, and quite a good liar, it turns out.

And despite losing to Lee Mack’s team, Mitchell - accompanied by Peep Show co-star Olivia Colman and Peter Serafinowicz - was the best value of the evening once more, with several accusatory rants against the obvious lies of Lee Mack and his team.

It’s like Call My Bluff with content.

    Love what you have written, I was screencapping the episode for my Olivia site and just loved the facial expressions she uses.

    Delighted to hear from you, and even more delighted to find that there is an Olivia Colman site!
