Would I Lie to You?

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.

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.

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.

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.
