Format

[edit]

The show was essentially a comedy version of Question Time. It featured four celebrity panellists (including regular panellists Tony Hawks and (in the 2nd series) Jo Brand) who were asked questions by members of the studio audience (including occasional celebrity guests) to which they were invited to give a humorous response.
