Hi. I’ve never been to the UK and I prefer coffee over tea but your comedy panel shows are the shit. So far I’ve enjoyed Would I Lie To You, 8 Out of 10 cats, Big Fat Quiz, QI, Taskmaster, and Last One Laughing. What should I watch next?

    Tbh you’ve hit all the greats there as far as I can see, apart from 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown which for my money is far better than either of its originals

    Outside the scope slightly but if you fancy a trip to completely the other side of the world, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, incredibly silly panel show from New Zealand which has a lot of the same flavour as UK ones

      I wasn’t even aware there’s a non-Countdown version of 8 out of 10 cats lol. Will check it out. Guy Mont sounds like it might be the shed too ;p, goes right on my list. Thanks!

        The non-Countdown version isn’t quite as good which is why it’s pretty much been replaced, but it’s still fun.

      GuyMont is great! It did start out in NZ but has since moved to AU.

      Another good AU show that is in the same vein is called Hard Quiz.

      Came here to recommend spelling bee as well, it’s really great. I’ve binged the Australian version this week and still have NZ to go. BBC3 broadcasting the Australian version has me optimistic for a UK edition in the future.
