Weekend of Comedy

Friday, August 1st, 2008

If Dad’s Army birthday celebrations on Sunday night aren’t your cup of tea, why not settle down with another excellent Would I Lie To You? tonight and a repeat of Mock the Week on Saturday night?

You can get past the fact that Angus Deayton currently looks older than Clive Dunn, and that David Mitchell still looks like he goes to school, as well as ignore the fact that Dara O’ Braian rarely gets a look in on Mock the Week these days as Frankie Boyle, Andy Parsons and Hugh Dennis in particular fight for supremacy.

Incidentally, have you noticed the lack of women on Mock the Week? It’s hardly a surprise of course - the ones that they do invite seem to make arses of themselves the first time they open their mouths.

Women - know your limits!

I would lie to you…

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Angus Deayton and a host of guests return this Friday at 9pm with a second series of Would I Lie To You? the comedy panel gameshow that constantly evokes memories of the Charles and Eddie hit from 1991.

Accompanied by team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack, this week sees Rob Brydon and Robert Webb, Gabby Logan and Krishnan Guru-Murthy join in the fun. If you haven’t seen it before, it goes something like this:

Two teams compete head-to-head with each player revealing incredible facts and (at times woefully) embarrassing personal tales for the consideration of the opposing team. Some of these yarns are true; some are not, and it’s down to the panellists to separate the facts from the fabrications. Think Call My Bluff without the archaisms and with laughs.
