My favourite comedy panel show returns today for a new series.

Tonight's guests are Mel Giedroyc, David Haye, Martin Kemp and Romesh Ranganathan.

Yes, one of my favourites as well. Always seems too short, which is the sign of a really good show as far as I'm concerned. I'm looking forward to it.

Same here.

I've always wondered why they don't do an XL version of it like QI, Room 101 and Have I Got News For You get.

I get all the stories aren't going to be fantastic but sometimes you don't even get a story from all the guests.

Great series so will be watching. Mel's always good value, whether licking Bowie's cake, hood winking security to meet Leslie Judd or admitting to a snog with one of the panellists! (the latter was a unique round....not true/lie but who!)

Thanks for that. I hadn't noticed it was on. It's one of the very few comedy programmes I watch on TV. Always hilarious.

Love the show. Although I have to say, Martin Kemp aside, those guests all annoy the hell out of me.

I'm sure it'll still be worth a watch though.

This show's format is so perfect that even when it has guests that can be annoying/boring, the show is still funny as hell.

And this is only amplified by the fact David Mitchell and Lee Mack may be the perfect counterparts to each other.


Also Brian Blessed will be appearing this season so you already know it's going to be perfection.

As good as ever.

And Lee Mack's Domino gag was genius.

Martin Kenp though...?

Well up to the usual standard.......lots of laughs

Pure unadulterated joy. David Haye was unexpectedly (at least to me) very good indeed.

David Haye constantly asking Martin Kemp how long it took for his arm to heal and constantly getting ignored was pretty great

Martin Kemp must've been drunk. Very odd.

Mel looks lovely with her hair down. I love her one these shows.

I enjoyed it, Martin was amusing the way he kept standing up. I noticed it didn't end with the usual 'and my individual liar of the week' from Rob

Yes, great to see it back, and still on top form. Every guest appears to enjoy themself as well, they're not just going through the motions. The only problem I can see is that David Mitchell and Lee Mack must surely run out of "stories" soon ? I mean they can always make stuff up, but they must be running out of genuine peculiar happenings in their lives.

I've never really understood the difference between the first and last rounds - there was certainly nothing 'quick fire' about Martin Kemp in that last round.

I loved it though!

.
I don't like late night XL shows because I'll have seen the original show and have to sit through much of it again to see the new bits. What this programme needs is just an extra ten minutes and better editing.

The 'quick fire' thing has always bugged me too. I'd like to see a round where it's it's a more simple statement and the other team can only ask 3 questions before making a call.

Kemp's story was so involved that it had to be true, funny that he never answered the question but he'd had a good drink

Or you have to deliberately not watch the main show and wait for the XL version which is annoying. They could also show the XL version online the same night as it's broadcast.
