Behind The Sofa is a "comedy panel review show". Pitching comic reviewers against each other, the latest DVD and Blu-ray blockbusters do battle with classic archive titles for the right to be hailed as the 'Release of the Week'.

In the first series, comprising of six weekly one-hour shows, those looking behind the sofa and jousting in support of their chosen releases are comedians Mitch Benn (The Now Show), Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf) and Gary Slaymaker (BBC Radio Cymru's Bwletin). The show is hosted by Alex Geairns, aka alex:g.

Geairns says: "There are no rules to follow as to how the four of us decide which is the most deserving title, from those we discuss in any particular week. This is where a lot of the fun comes from. We were all amazed at how much humour, trivia and rivalry came over in the first recording. Our audience will feel they are joining us on our sofa, rather than being behind it!"
