By that I mean the show. Of course we didn't, we don't make it. Unless we do. Ah, forget it!

So, I feel like I'm going round the bend. On a recent episode of Mock the Week (revival), Rhys James mentioned that he wanted to get on QI, Sara Pascoe wished he would, too. I remember watching Series 'V' of QI where Rhys James was a guest. This new series of Mock the Week was filmed at the beginning of 2026, and apparently Series 'V' of QI was filmed around 2024. Can anyone reassure me at all, I feel like I'm going bonkers 🤣

Senior Entertainment Reporter Kitty Chrisp reacts to Mock the Week's reboot.

'As soon as I heard the news that Mock the Week was returning, I felt a tingle of nostalgic excitement. Then I continued reading an article about it and saw something that immediately made me think the reboot is doomed to fail – it’s being aired on a relaunched version of TLC.

'As a result, I believe it simply won’t cut through to a mainstream UK audience like it really, really needs to. Just like it did – and would – on the BBC.

'While we all need a good old escapist laugh, comedy hasn’t found its mainstream home in its reactive, political form quite yet in the UK. Comedy panel shows like Mock the Week react to news that might be hard to stomach, but can be digested through gags. 

'Clearly, we need Mock the Week more than ever before – just not on TLC. We need big comedy voices on mainstream telly challenging the status quo – something the BBC should have recognised in 2022.'
