Further details
The show starts with the headliners round, and the panel coming up with suggestions for the initials B.G.M.C. that correspond to a photo of the Olympics opening ceremony in China, then follows discussion about the games in general. The 4 x 1 joke relay round features stand-up material from Andy, Adam, Frankie and Russell, and then the comedians try to figure out what is the economy-related question if the answer is '691 million', and talk about the credit crunch and 'staycations'. The show ends as always with scenes we'd like to see - this week they are the things you wouldn't hear at the Olympics, and lines you wouldn't hear in a war film.
