Mention of radio 4 earlier in the thread has reminded me that David Mitchell has his own panel show on the station which is based around a 'lie or truth' format.....
It's quite good !
If you've never heard it you can catch it tonight at 6.30 on Radio 4
Yep that was an old "unseen bits" episode. I checked the date at the end and it was 2014.
What are they playing at? Didn't they drop an episode and now they're fobbing us off with an old unseen bits episode.
Last year they moved the series to a different day for the last couple of episodes.
It really hacks me off how they treat WILTY when it's their funniest panel show by far. >:(

Downloaded a recent episode and his wife was one of the panellists along with Sarah Milican and Kath Ryan.
They made a few gags related to Vicky being married to the 'teacher'
You've got to assume that they are cut because they are not entertaining.
I agree that it's a shame that it doesn't get an extended version like HIGNFY, QI, Room 101 (also 8-10 Cats) as there is probably enough footage available but just adding in a person so that they get on screen may actually make an episode worse.
I guess if an episode is really good, the cut parts can go in the unseen bits compilation.
A bit weird this series, having 2 repeats tacked on the end. Normally TV companies don't mix up repeats and new episodes like this?

Thanks, I didn't know about this programme and have just listened to that episode - great fun but probably more so because VCM was on it.

David didn't come over as quite 'himself' some thing was a little 'off' can't put my finger on what it was though.
I'm not a big fan of the show, download listen once and delete, I keep vast swathes of Radio stuff I download off the BBC server, 150+ Gig, at a guess.
Looks like they're finally resuming this series after an apparent mid-series break.
I believe this is just a one-off. Next Wednesday BBC1 is showing FA Cup football and the following week I think it will be the Great British Sport Relief Bake Off.

You may be right, it could be the last episode of this series. It says it's episode 8 on my planner but don't know how many episodes they normally have in each series.

it says 8/10 in the Radio Times
apparently it's 'returning after the Christmas break' according to RT
According to iPlayer episode 9 of this series was the Christmas one, shown on 28th Dec. The one shown today is episode 8 which might have been the one which got dropped for a repeat for reasons unknown. That could explain the unusual day and slot as they just fitted it in when they could.
I don't know if there any episodes after episode 9, it might just be the compilation episode which no doubt will pop up anywhere when they feel like showing it

For those who missed last nights new episode due to the random scheduling (like me!), it's obviously available on iPlayer but is also repeated on Friday night at 11:25pm on BBC1.
I found it very funny in places, maybe because all four guests were professional comedians/ comic actors, (Usually on WILTY, there is one person who is the Odd One Out who doesn't normally do panel shows but is still game enough to appear.) maybe because ten-twenty years ago I fancied Doon something rotten. Still do, I suppose...
At first, I thought David's team were going to have to do all the work. Certainly, that's how it came over in the first two-thirds of the edit. Lee's side probably had more to do in the unedited version.

You're right and apparently they feel like showing that episode of "The Unseen Bits" at 9.30pm tonight.

I can't imagine he's got much on these days. It must be quite a lonely life.
Maybe he should invite the maintenance man round
It's quite good !

What the hell are they doing with the remaining episodes from this series?
Unseen bits that we've seen before.......

Don't know when they'll show episode 9 then, seems like it will be at least 3 weeks away.
