Hosted by Jimmy Carr, the show features two teams of comedians who compete against each other to guess the most popular answers to a variety of questions. The show is known for its irreverent humor, witty banter, and playful jabs at celebrity culture.
In Series 2 Episode 11, the teams are made up of comedians Jon Richardson, Sean Lock, and Dave Spikey on one side, and Sarah Millican, Rich Hall, and Mark Watson on the other. The episode begins with a round of "What Are You Talking About?", in which the panelists must guess the topic of a news story based on a vague headline. This round sets the tone for the rest of the show, as the comedians riff on everything from Brexit to One Direction.
The next round is "Pick of the Polls", in which the panelists must guess the most popular answer to a survey question. The questions range from the absurd ("What's the worst thing about Stephen Hawking?") to the more serious ("What's the most annoying thing about mobile phones?"). As always, the comedians are quick to poke fun at each other's answers and to take jabs at popular culture.
The third round is "Believe It or Not", in which the panelists must guess whether a statement is true or false. The statements are often bizarre or obscure, but the comedians manage to make them hilarious nonetheless. This round also features some banter between Sean Lock and Jon Richardson, as they debate the merits of a particularly ridiculous statement.
Next up is "The Pole With A Hole", in which the panelists must guess the topic of a survey question based on a clue provided by Jimmy Carr. This round is particularly raunchy, as the questions all revolve around sex and relationships. The comedians are more than happy to make dirty jokes and innuendos, much to the delight of the audience.
The final round is "Quick-Fire Questions", in which the comedians must buzz in with a joke or witty comment based on a variety of topics. This round is fast-paced and chaotic, with the panelists all trying to outdo each other with their jokes. The show ends with the traditional "Winner of the Week" announcement, in which Jimmy Carr reveals which team came out on top.
