"Would I Lie to You" is an insanely funny British panel show that will have you laughing out loud every episode. It stars Rob Brydon as host and David Mitchell and Lee Mack as team captains who are joined by two contestants each, either comedians or other TV personalities. The contestants have to read out a statement they've never seen before and the opposing team has to decide if they're lying or telling the truth. There also comes a guest to the show and each member of one team claims to know him and the opposing team has to decide which one has the genuine connection to the guest.

While the show's format alone makes it funny, it's Rob, David and Lee that really make the show: David and Lee work very well together as their TV personalities are in contrast and their banter is just hilarious. David shines with his rants and his dry, pedantic logic while Lee is incredibly witty and imaginative. Rob is effortlessly charismatic, acting either as mediator, instigator or participant depending on what the situation demands.

What makes the show so great is the fact that while it may be fun to guess if the stories are the truth or a lie, a large enjoyment stems from the stories themselves: they're often so interesting and funny that their facticity becomes a side issue. This - of course - depends on the contestants. Some are more skilled than others at telling stories in a funny and engaging way, though generally comedians are better at this. Kevin Bridge's horse story is mostly regarded as the most funny story, followed by the stories of Bob Mortimer, Greg Davies, Rhod Gilbert and Henning Wehn.

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.

By far the best panel show going and has been for some time. Took a few series to get the right presenter and sort the format out a little. But this is one of the very few programmes on the BBC I actually bother with.

Good, this. Two teams of celebrity guests try to figure out whether their opponents ridiculously far-fetched statements about themselves are true or, in fact, a lie.

"Would I Lie To You?" is a fairly new Quizcom that pokes fun at the recent boom of "truth game" formats. It only arrived on screens last year, but made an instant impact with me. A great selection of guests so far, and well-picked team captains in David Mitchell, whom I'd already established, and Lee Mack, new to me at the time but with a great, slightly Chandler-like comedy style.

It's also good to finally see Angus Deayton return to a quiz host's chair. He hasn't lost any of his wonderful deadpan wit since his HIGNFY days, and makes for an integral part of the show's success. The first truly entertaining new TV programme in a long time, and it's set to return for a second series. I look forward to it.

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 and a time slot change).

I'm in my 30s and i love it my Grandad is in his 80s and loves it, my Mother and partner (who normally just enjoys football, football hooliganism and films about football hooliganism) loves it and my little sister who's 12 loves it. That's a lot of different generations and types of people with vastly different interests who enjoy the show, so it's always worth a try (If you want a sample search on YT for the Kevin Bridges buying a horse story).

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 because of those 3.

The only quibble is that it's too short, if they made an XL version like QI do (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.

They've pretty much got the format bang on now, it used to be a lot faster paced but the last 5 series (maybe more) have been right on the money. The fact I'm a huge David Mitchell fan makes this a much watch for me, so idnyou were a fan of Peep show (everyone should be!!!) Or any of his other work, then it's worth watching just for his involvement.

This show along with 'This Time with Alan Partridge' & when a new series of 'Inside No 9' comes out are the only reasons I still have the iPlayer installed, (I don't watch TV live, it's so laborious wading through the rubbish to get to what you want) and unless there's a new series of the office or extras i don't see that changing anytime soon.

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

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

Most recently presented by Rob Brydon for the majority of its seasons and created by Peter Holmes for the BBC, we feature two team captains and comedians Lee Mack and David Mitchell, who take on two additional celebrity guests each, where the teams take turn reading off preprepared cards of statements, playing them off as either a truth or a lie. The other team must then guess which it indeed is, either a truth that actually happened to that person, or a lie, completely made up. A fairly simple premise, the two captains are both in their perfect element, David Mitchell with his depths of historical and factual knowledge, and general curmudgeonly attitude he plays up and is known for, and Lee Mack whose cleverness, wit, and ability to annoy David is perfect. Of course how good things are episode to episode certainly depends on the guests and those stories / lies prepared, however overall I've seen enough seasons to say its impressively consistent. If you're just looking for some easy watching thats a laugh, I would recommend, going now for over 17 seasons, yeah, is a good show.

This simple game of anecdotes that may or may not be true is as entertaining as it is because of the trio of regulars: the host (Rob Brydon) and the team captains (David Mitchell and Lee Mack). Their shared chemistry and ability to bounce off of each other is what saves any episode with subpar guests.

There are certainly many guests who are great at the game and very entertaining to listen, but they alone couldn't have carried this show for the 15 years it's been on.

Since there is rarely anything topical about the anecdotes, all of the series (except the first two) feel pretty much as fresh now as they did back in the day.

In the early series, when Angus Deayton was the host, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The format was a bit different, but still enjoyable.

It was ugly to see Rob Brydon appear as a guest early on. He did all he could to promote himself and all but took over the show. He tried the very same thing first time he was a guest on QI.

Horror of horrors. They actually fell for it and let Mr. Brydon host the show. For the worId of me, I can't see what this one trick pony brings to the show. He does a few old impressions and that's about it.

I loved the show for years.but I must say my wife and I,just don't find it as funny lately.the guest aren't as funny and just doesn't bring it .sorry hope for the best in future.

The chemistry between Rob Bryden and the team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchel is electric and just brilliantly funny. Lee is just the so quick and watching him trying to dig him self out of some of the scenarios "lies" he come out with.. is just hilarious.

Some of the stories that they and their guests recall...l are belly achingly funny, so much so they just could not be true, and when they do turn out to be true... its just the icing on the cake.

A show packed with comedy gold... my only gripe is that it is too short👍👍

Literally in tears when I watch this show every week. Timeless. Please never stop making them.

Great panel show. Lee Macks quick wit and David Mitchell's logic and rants are genius.

The concept will always be current. So much in life that can be used as material. There are so many excellent team members a lot of them should be invited back repeated.

It has been commented by reviewers that "The chemistry between Rob Bryden and the team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell is amazing", and I totally agree. What is really nice is how much fun the team member have, they must really enjoy working on this programme.

Both Lee and David are so sharp and quick witted that the most mundane of subjects are always illuminating.

I generally do not review TV programmes, but this is sooo good I was compelled to write.

I'm surprised it survived the early series and I'm so glad it did,, really good fun

We Yanks may have defeated you in the late 1700s, and your empire has been shrinking ever since, but in one sense you still at least rule the AIR waves with shows like this, Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats, etc. No one does comedy panel shows as well as you. This one's my fave for two reasons - most laughs per minute, and lowest % of jokes I don't get because they're about public figures and cultural matters more familiar on your side of the pond than ours. If anyone doubts the brilliance of Lee, David and Rob, try watching the lamentable US version of WILTY. We surrender.

I love this show. Each person on the 2 teams makes a ridiculous claim and the opposing team have to question them to find out if they are telling the truth.

Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon are always funny and entertaining. The guests can be a mixed bag in terms of their own humourous offerings, but the 3 regulars more than make up for it.

However, some guests are just an absolute delight. Bob Mortimer. Oh my goodness, Bob Mortimer. I've always loved his humour anyway, but when he tells his tales on this show I can barely stop my sides from splitting with laughter. I wish they'd have him on every episode.

If you want half an hour of laughter to cheer you up - this is the show to watch.

In this panel game, the players take turns in saying something amusing about themselves, then the others try to work out whether it's true or is a lie. It doesn't work most of the time. That's because most of the lies are either obviously untrue - or are so trivial that it doesn't matter.

The episodes vary a lot in entertainment value, depending who is taking part during that one - but most episodes are awful.

Some of the most common participants aren't good on this show, despite being good elsewhere. David Mitchell is very good in scripted comedy such as Peep Show and the sketch shows that he did with Robert Webb - but as himself, his formal and intellectual style is uncomfortably incongruous for this light-hearted format.

I like the bit where they make fun of Lee Mack all the time

WILTY has been a noteworthy comedic addition to the BBC since 2007, and is produced by the same Banijay division who makes 8 Out of 10 Cats. When compared to other panel shows, it relies less on adult content and more on how obscure things really can be. In fact, you might be able to learn the strange things your favourite celebrities and comedians have gotten up to!

The show is presented by Rob Brydon, with Lee Mack and David Mitchell as team captains. The earlier seasons were presented by Angus Deayton but those aren't as funny until Brydon joined. I think he is the reason why the show improved because he has really good chemistry with his team captains; and considering Mack and Mitchell are funny on their own terms, that's saying something. Even if the episode you're watching has people you don't really enjoy, you can always wait until Mitchell or Mack grabs out their card and reads whatever the heck is on it. On very rare occasions even Brydon has his time in the spotlight.

The only issue I would say is that the show tends to be over as soon as it starts because it's only half-an-hour long. But sometimes it doesn't really matter because this show is incredibly addictive and makes you want to laugh-out-loud to the point that your laugh box has broken.

In comparison to other panel shows this show doesn't stay relevant to the modern times so you can watch a bunch of episodes from various years and still get everything. But I would recommend you don't watch this show with any "autoplay" function on; you will still be watching it until you realise you forgot to go to bed!

Overall, WILTY is certainly a panel show that's unlike any other, and perfect for the whole family to enjoy (most of the time). But once again, avoid turning on any "autoplay" functions on whatever service you have or watch a single episode on the DVDs; you won't stop!

Hilarious good old Fashion fun.absolutely love this show. Rob, David and Lee bounce off each other perfectly. Its no wonder the show has been running as long as it has. Simply brilliant.
