About This Program ✦
Part One is a programme episode that serves as the opening instalment of a two‑part collection. It pulls together the standout moments from series 21, presenting them in a single, streamlined format. The focus is on delivering the most memorable segments in a concise package, rather than offering new material. The episode is fronted by Jimmy Carr, who shares the stage with captain Rob Beckett. Together they are joined by a handful of well‑known guests, among them Aisling Bea and Richard Osman. Their appearances add variety to the highlights, contributing their own flair to the selected clips. As the first of the two compilations, this edition gathers the “best bits” from the previous series, setting the tone for the follow‑up installment. It functions as a recap, allowing viewers to revisit the most popular moments without having to watch the entire series again. The structure is straightforward: a sequence of chosen excerpts presented by the hosts and their celebrity companions, offering a tidy overview of series 21’s highlights.
