Joe Lycett is a lad

Joe Lycett discusses his place in lad culture, and Jon Richardson has a plan to communicate with the dead via a ouija board.

Featuring: Jimmy Carr, Jon Richardson & Joe Lycett.

Press

New series of the word-wrangling panel show, with guests including David Walliams (AKA all the Carry On films stuffed into one suit) and Jonathan Ross (who brings along some cat nappies as a mascot). Isy Suttie is in Dictionary Corner alongside Susie Dent, Jon Richardson has brought a Ouija board to assist him ("at various points I may go into a trance-like state"), and there are two faintly rude-sounding anagrams for you to untangle.

Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 24th September 2016
