New series starts tonight.
Probably my favourite comedy panel show. Love the banter between the three regulars and think Lee Mack is one of the sharpest and funniest comedians around.
Rob Brydon returns to the host's chair for the eighth series of the comedy panel show where celebrity guests reveal amazing stories about themselves, some of which are true and some of which are not. The aim of the game is to fool the opposition into mistaking fact for fiction and fiction for fact.
Regular team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell are joined by Fiona Bruce, Micky Flanagan, Steve Jones and Claudia Winkleman. {source}

My favourite too. Disappointed that it is on at 8.30. Not because I crave industrial language, I just think it was a bit edgier when it was post watershed.
Does anyone know if the beeb has commissioned a 'extra time' episode or is it still just 30 mins a week. Shame if it is.
I agree. When these types of programmes are broadcast pre watershed, I often feel they are having to hold back from saying what they want.
Can't remember this show ever having an extended version, like they do with 'Room 101: Extra Storage', but I may be wrong.
No there never has been and by tonight's sign off by the announcer it seems that continues. Glad it is back though.
Lee's bit with the keys at the end had me laughing harder than anything else on TV in a long time.
Several laugh out loud sections but Lee and his keys was brilliant......:p
also David and the 'party'.......there might have been crisps !
Sometimes they give Lee Mack something so ridiculous to lie about, there's no way he could realistically pull it off, and that was the case this week with the bunch of keys.
I can't imagine any other comedian being so funny in attempting such a hopeless task. It was the biggest laugh I've had for some time, especially when he did the summary bit at the end.
I am not sure why it would be funnier after the watershed. Any comedian who needs to use bad language to be funny is a poor comedian.

For me it's not so much about bad language, I just think that the contestants can be a bit edgier and freer post watershed as I said in a previous post.
The summary was borderline genius - actually - skip the borderline bit, it was just genius. Lee Mack and David Mitchell are perfect foils for each other. So glad this is back.
So do I, I find her hugely charming, as I've said before on here, she can giggle, gurn and peak under he fringe as much as she likes.
As soon as I saw her in the line up, I remembered her appearance in and earlier series with the stuffed cat, which she made a good fist of IMO.
There really should be a weekly extended version, as there's a lot that ends up on the cutting room floor, cheap late night filler.
They can still have the end of series out-takes episode too, should be enough material for both.
Completely agree. Friends of mine have been lucky enough to go to a filming and say that it easily goes to two hours. Call me greedy but if Bake Off can have the dreadful Extra Slice then surely we can have extra WILTY during the week plus the outtakes.
I don't.
