Press

Dara O Briain returns for a new series with another panel of comedians applying their special brand of pseudo-satire to all matters newsworthy. Mockery mainstay Hugh Dennis is joined by returning panellists James Acaster, Angela Barnes, Ed Gamble and Zoe Lyons, while rising star Darren Harriott, whose 2017 Edinburgh show was highly recommended by the Guardian, makes his series debut.
