A sort of Have I Got News for You from Yesterday, this comedy panel game hosted by Griff Rhys Jones must have sounded a winner when it was first pitched. The idea is for panellists to identify past events (such as the Newbury Bypass protest, the furore over Cabbage Patch dolls) from archive footage and then make witty remarks that will win them random points. It takes a while to warm up (as the teams get into the swing of it, the f-word rate rises), but even then it’s more of a wry smile than a guffawing kind of show.
About this programme
1/6. New series. Griff Rhys Jones hosts the comedy panel game that uses archive clips to test contestants' knowledge of history, with team captains Marcus Brigstocke and Charlie Baker. They are joined for this edition by Kirsty Wark and Micky Flanagan, and the panellists provide irreverent interpretations of events in the past few decades, which range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
