The hit topical comedy panel show continues its irreverent, irrelevant and revealing run of shows. Jimmy Carr hosts proceedings as team captains Sean Lock and Jason Manford battle it out to discover who knows what is going on in Britain today.

This week’s guests include Sarah Silverman and Kelvin Mackenzie. Popular rounds making a comeback include the topical What Are You Talking About? , in which the teams of comedians and celebrity guests ferret out the news stories that Britain is discussing round the water-cooler and across the dinner table, from cutting edge politics to trash TV, and global issues to celebrity excesses. And there are fresh twists to the format to keep the panellists on their toes. 8 Out of 10 Cats is the perfect antidote to a world filled with focus groups and ladies with clipboards.
