    Overexposed

    This show is an example of how Romesh has monopolised this part of the TV comedy market and as a result the script is utterly lame and predictable

    Weak sauce...

    The Ranganation

    Rubbish quite simply.

    I don't see the appeal of the programme, or the comedy appeal of the host. 1.2 million viewers doesn't make it good.

    Dire. Sorry.

    This is quality

    Romesh and his mum again so perfect when they're both involved...proper funny stuff this
    10harveycharlotte

    So funny with a great atmosphere!

    I love the whole concept of the show, how they bring ordinary people to the spotlight. The way romesh and the guests each episode bounce off of the ranganation is so hilarious, it makes the ordinary people as funny as the even best comedians!! I love how it's a diverse selection of people who always have different opinions but this show brings people with different opinions together rather than splitting them apart!! I also love the reviews of the weekly news, Romesh's jokes are so brilliant, I find myself laughing out loud so much while watching.

    Also, it's been a struggle for these comedy shows to have the same atmosphere with the covid restrictions, but even with everyone on the video call its still so funny and I forget that they used to be in the studio! Brilliant :)

    Brilliant comedy show, and heartwarming Mickey taking laughs!

    To be fair after being turned off by most of the chat show format, this actually made me smile. Excellent wit and with a big heart. Well done, great stuff 👏
