What is the best panel show and why is it Would I Lie to You?

American here, Why do brits have so many panel shows? What's the appeal?

The BBC is funded by taxpayer money and has no adverts so they can't have massive budget shows that make their money back through advertising revenue, panel shows are cheap as shit (one set, one camera, no script except maybe the host, you can film 4 in a day), and they've been very popular since the days of radio, so popular that even non-BBC channels make them.

And my favourite is the radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (the antidote to panel games)

>What's the appeal?
It's just a delivery system for comedy, you have a simple game and get a bunch of funny people to play it and the audience can laugh at their jokes. It worked better before diversity hires meaning they had to have unfunny people there to stop institutional sexism and racism.

It is/was hosted by the only 3 talented comedians left in Nu-Pakistan. But, now that the BBC requires "diversity", it's become another victim of unwatchability.

Also there's a talent agency that has exclusive rights to certain shows.

That's why it's the same comedians on every panel. Like that ugly fat bitch with the big teeth.

That does have the best premise and some of the best banter

Come on lad that doesn't really narrow it down when we're talking about British women.

Are you talking about me?

As someone who has become a fan of Lee Mack through this show, is Not Going Out worth watching? Also bump

>is Not Going Out worth watching?

First few series are okay, becomes pretty repetitive pretty quickly though.

>is Not Going Out worth watching
I don't watch it much, but it seems alright. I suppose it's just a lot of one liners - probably what you'd expect from Lee Mack. It doesn't take itself seriously.
Also the girl in it is really fit.

Yeeeeeee not worth a watch
I think its shit
The rest of the cast just feed Lee for his bit
and the jokes can be seen from miles out
fuck "not going out"

I think Lee works better in an improvisational situation.

The Tim Vine series are pretty good. It's as funny as B-tier comedy gets.

>It's a "half of the panel guests aren't comedians or even funny so the team captains have to carry the show" episode
They have some god tier guests sometimes like Bob Mortimer but so many times they bring just famous people who are just sorta there and don't really add nothing to the show

Shooting stars. You're showing your age OP.

I don't think I've ever actually laughed at anything as much as "I once accidentally bought a Horse".
