The series is an irreverent panel programme presented by comedian Jimmy Carr. It follows the familiar British format of a comedic quiz, but with a deliberately cheeky tone that sets it apart from more conventional fare. Carr acts as the anchor, guiding the conversation and keeping the pace lively throughout each episode. At the heart of the show sits the regular team captain, Rob Beckett, who leads one side of the panel. Joining him for each episode is a guest captain, currently Josh Widdicombe, who steps in to provide fresh energy and a different perspective. Their interactions form the core of the competitive banter. The remaining seats are filled by a rotating group of comedians and personalities. Regular contributors include Joe Swash, Harriet Kemsley, Dotty and Suzi Ruffell, each bringing their own brand of humour to the proceedings. Their presence adds variety and ensures that the panel maintains a dynamic, unpredictable rhythm. Their comedic timing often sparks spontaneous laughs. Together, Carr, the two captains and the supporting panel create a lively mix of jokes, quick‑fire exchanges and playful rivalry. The programme’s structure relies on this blend of established and guest talent, delivering an entertaining experience that stays true to its irreverent spirit from start to finish.
