Synopsis
Essentially, a straightforward true-or-false quiz but done in the banter-heavy Have I Got Buzzcocks All Over style. In the first and last rounds, the questions take the form of facts and anecdotes provided by the guests themselves, while in between there are a number of other variations: celebrity "quotations", TV-related "facts" (heralded by shoehorned-in clips) and one game wherein a person is brought out from backstage and each panellist on a team claims to know them in one capacity or another. Typical Comedy Panel Game editing, i.e. the scores make no sense.
The show is airing in the Saturday 10pm slot, which looks suspiciously like a burial (we remember The Murder Game, even if no-one else does), but it has a decent lead-in from Jekyll so might just do alright. It's certainly watchable, but possibly more because the regulars are all good at this sort of thing, rather than the format itself being owt special.
Trivia
Before settling on the final title, the show had previously been announced as Unbelievable and Pants on Fire.
