Mock the Week season 21 episode 3, titled "Episode 3," features six of the UK's sharpest comedians as they deliver their best jokes and clever insights on various news, current events, and pop culture topics. The show is hosted by veteran comedian Dara O'Briain, who guides the panelists through the various rounds and challenges of the show.
The opening round of the episode sees the panelists tackle the latest headlines in "Headliners" – a classic Mock the Week game where they come up with a humorous and witty headline for a news story that is revealed to them just moments before the round starts. In the following bit, the comedians will play "Between the Lines," where they offer their takes on phrases and catchphrases that are currently in vogue around the world.
Then, the panelists will play "If This Is The Answer, What Is The Question?" This game tasks the contestants with coming up with a question that corresponds to a particular answer given in advance. It's a fast-paced round that often produced some of the wittiest remarks of the entire show.
Next up is "Photo Fit," where the panelists must come up with captions for humorous photos that are shown to them. This round allows the comedians to stretch their comedic muscles in different directions, resulting in witty and zany results.
After "Photo Fit," the panelists head into "Wheel of News," where each comedian takes turns to spin a wheel that randomly selects a topic for them to deliver a stand-up comedy routine on, typically in the form of news headlines or current events. This round often results in hilarious and surprising routines from the panelists.
The episode will then close with an exhilarating round of "Scenes We'd Like To See," where the comedians present humorous scenes from hypothetical scenarios that are suggested by O'Briain.
