Would I Lie to You?

I'm not big on panel shows, but Would I Lie to You? easily transcends its form and is one of my favourite shows period. Featuring a host (currently Rob Brydon, but previously Angus Deayton, for the first two series), and two comedians serving as team captains (David Mitchell playing up his high-brow nerdiness while Lee Mack serves as his foil), the show is genuinely funny with a fairly simple premise. Contestants read a bizarre story off a card and the opposing team is able to question them for a brief period before they must guess whether they are telling the truth or lying.

It's a great format that has introduced me to the best of British comedic talent (Sarah Millican, Miranda Hart, and Rhod Gilbert are some of my fave guest stars) and every episode gives me at least a couple of real laughs.

Superb show always high on laugh factor. Can't fault the team captains either David Mitchell and the always on-point Lee Mack. Without doubt one of the greatest shows ever devised.

Superbly funny time and time again. Consistently one of the funniest programmes on TV. If I need a pick me up this is the programme to do it. Even the less good episodes are very funny.

The combination of Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon is comedy gold. The stories can be funny, the guests hit and miss but it really doesn't matter.

Fabulous entertainment

The best panal show in Britain right now and has been for some time, maybe even ever. There's no political bias, preaching or agenda. It's just clean family fun, that everyone can enjoy (The swearing got toned down after the first 2 series).

I think replacing Angus Deaton with Rob Brydon was a master stroke, him, Lee and David bounce off each other so well. So even if your not a fan of the guests or don't know who they are, you can still enjoy it.

The only quibble is that it's too short, if they made an XL version like QI (i know there's usually an extra episode with unseen stories, but there must be so much more) then I doubt there would be any complaints.

Lee mack never dissapoints , his quick humourous responses really make the show what it is today . Unique guests all have unique and outrageous stories that keep you guessing yet laughing. The banter never ends and it has a way of making you feel included. Brilliant show and brilliant guests. 9.0 /10.0
