A panel of top-drawer celebrities, including Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell, Mel B, Micky Flanagan, Sarah Millican and Kevin Bridges are grilled by Jimmy Carr to see which of them has retained the most knowledge of 2014. To win the crown, they'll need to recall who purred down the phone in September, why Bono issued a worldwide apology in October, and what sporting event was the most-tweeted-about ever in July. Providing assistance are a host of varyingly beloved celebs including Michael Palin, Rio Ferdinand and Lily Allen.

Micky Flanagan: comedians are not natural competitors

As Flanagan joins the ranks of comedians doing travel-themed TV series, he says comics aren't looking to do well at the expense of others.

Opinion: What I won't miss about Lee Evans

The trouble is that his observational humour that was actually quite pioneering back in the late eighties has become mainstream comedy currency. I'm not saying others do his schtick better, but the likes of Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre and Jason Manford all do it just as well. And if you really need someone to do the gags in a working class London accent there's always Micky Flanagan.

Radio Times review

Oscar-winners Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are on the sofa tonight to discuss their latest film: Interstellar, a space adventure of galactic proportions (it's nearly three hours long). Unlike in, respectively, Dallas Buyers Club and Les Misérables, their roles in this didn't require them to crash-diet - just to save an environmentally devastated Earth by travelling through a wormhole in space to find humankind a new home.

Hopefully making us feel less paranoid about the future are Graham's other guests - Lena Dunham, the creator of cult show Girls, and comedian Micky Flanagan.

Micky Flanagan on using drugs

Micky Flanagan has opened up about his wild past before he hit the big time as one of Britain's most successful comedians. The 52-year-old stand-up star admitted he was a 'product of a generation' that embraced a care-free party lifestyle when he was a teenager growing up in London's East End.

Micky Flanagan hoping for semi-autobiographical sitcom

Micky Flanagan has given an update about his plans to star in a sitcom. The stand-up comedian first announced his hopes to lead a new comedy series last year, and has now said that he wants to find the right script.

The tall stories (some true, some not) comedy panel show returns for an eighth series. Its longevity has much to do with the way host Rob Brydon, plus team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell, get close to the knuckle without taking things too far for primetime, a tricky balancing act when Mitchell discusses the lead-up to an alleged vomiting incident ("There was definitely drinking, I think there might have been crisps ... "). First guests are Fiona Bruce, Micky Flanagan, Steve Jones and Claudia Winkleman.

Radio Times review

Host Rob Brydon and team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack return for series eight of the jolly panel show that tests the fibbing skills of celebrity teams. In this opening episode Micky Flanagan is the sole comedian guest, alongside TV presenters (of one form or other) Fiona Bruce, Claudia Winkleman and Steve Jones.

Did Flanagan liven up a hen do by taking his clothes off? Does Fiona Bruce dream about monkeys? And did Steve Jones once save rapper P Diddy's life? It may be inspired by elements from other panel shows (Call My Bluff and the mystery guest element from They Think It's All Over being the most obvious), but thanks in large part to the wit and repartee of the three regulars, the fun is infectious.

Teenage Cancer Trust: An Evening of Comedy - review

The superb Jason Manford hosted, John Bishop raised the roof and Micky Flanagan proved why he's currently the nation's favourite comic.
