Watched Would I Lie To You yesterday and made me think. Quite a few panel shows around now.
I have to say I love almost all of them.
Which ones are the best though - have the better format, jokes, subject, captains etc?

How would you order this list in terms of preference?

Have I Got News For You
Mock The Week
QI
Would I Lie To You
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
8 Out Of 10 Cats

I know I'd put Buzzcocks at the bottom. It's just a bitchfest now. More than when Lamarr was there? Dunno, but I prefer all the others mentioned (for different reasons).

QI
Mock The Week
HIGNFY
8 out of 10 Cats
Would I Lie To You
Buzzcocks

But I love them all, really.

Amstell is a dick, so Buzzcocks drops down to the bottom few of any right-thinking list.

He's a lovely dick.

Now Mark Lamarr, he was a dick.

QI
HIGNFY
Mock The Week
8 out of 10 Cats
Would I Lie To You
Buzzcocks

I get more and more disillusioned with 8 Out Of 10 Cats every week. I think it's the quality of the guests.

I can't believe everyone hates Buzzcocks, I would put it near the top.
And do you really like MTW zooo? Is it cos of Frankie? I would put that at the bottom, it just doen't work for me and hardly ever raises a smile. The format is a bit rubbish as well, imo.

Yes, Frankie makes me laugh about 10 times per show, so I like the show.
And Hugh's good.
And I like the bits they re-used from Whose Line.

I'd prefer more of that.

But if Frankie left, it would be much lower down the list.

Did you see him on Would I Lie? Thought he was cracking on that yesterday.

Yeah, he was great. Especially when he was lying about being a poet. I cried. (with laughter.)

QI and Buzzcocks at the top.

Mock the Week and HIGNFY

Then 8 out of 10 and WILTY.

Haha!

"Who are your influences?"
"Some...female poets"

That was the best bit!!
