Mock the Week is a British satirical panel show that premiered on BBC Two on 5 June 2005, and aired on BBC Two from 2005 until 2022, and on TLC since 2026.
Each episode of the BBC Two era of the show ran for approximately 30 minutes in length, while the length of the TLC era increased to approximately 45 minutes each (not including advertisements).
All episodes are hosted by Dara Ó Briain, joined by two teams of three panellists. The first two series had Hugh Dennis and Frankie Boyle as regular panellists on one side, and Rory Bremner as a regular on the other. Bremner left after series 2 and was replaced by Andy Parsons, who was a regular from series 3 to 14; he was not replaced as a regular afterwards. Russell Howard became a regular panellist from series 4 to 9. Boyle left after series 7; Chris Addison took his seat permanently from the second half of series 10 until the first half of series 12, after which his seat once again became a guest slot. Dennis was the only regular panellist throughout the original 17-year and 21-series run on BBC Two. Rhys James is the sole regular panelist for the TLC episodes.https://x.com/kpprtweets/status/2018073219240968616
