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.
