Synopsis
Two teams of comics would battle it out to make the audience laugh. Each comedian had to tell jokes on categories written on oversized playing cards on Cryer's desk unless a joker came up which gave the comic free rein. Points could be scored by the other team if they could see where the joke was headed, buzz in, and complete it with their own punchline. There was also a speed making the audience laugh round going into and out of the commercial break.
Not to be confused with the US show of the same name.
Inventors
Ray Cameron and Mike King
Trivia
Format based on a 1950s American show entitled Can You Top This?.
Some episodes were recorded at Tyne Tees Television's studios in Newcastle.
