Name Dropping is a BBC One panel show pilot from BBC Comedy. Hosted by razor-sharp Sue Perkins, it's fast, funny and it's all about people with one thing in common - they all share the same first name. Two teams of top comedians and celebrities compete to answer tricky trivia questions about famous people from the worlds of showbiz, music, sport, politics and history and along the way unearth some truly extraordinary facts.

Panellists include Hugh Dennis and Claudia Winkleman.

Made in-house by the BBC. The Executive Producer is Saurabh Kakkar, with producers Ruth Wallace, Will Ing, Dan Gaster and Paul Powell.

Note: Previously piloted in 2012 with Miranda Hart under the title And You Are...?. Re-piloted in 2015 for BBC Two with the new title Insert Name Here.
