Advantages: top comedians

Disadvantages: overused format

This is another one of these comedy quiz panel shows. a cross between whose line is it anyway (it has the same producer, dan patterson) and have i got news for you mixing topical satirical news quiz with the improvisation.
the show is presented by Dara O'Briain and features regular panelists Hugh Dennis, Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard and Andy Parsons who all offer their own touch to the show, and they are also joined by different special guests, who are normally stand up comedians each week which offer alot of variety.
different rounds include having to make the audience laugh from discussing a random topic from the wheel of news, guessing a headline using only its initials, and voicing over news video clips, of which hugh dennis is particularly good. it finishes with the best round, scenes you would like to see, which is always filled with outrageously funny ideas!

Summary: good for a panel show!
