--Will2710 00:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)I thought that Hugh Dennis was the other team captain, and Boyle was actually just a guest?

Originaly, Boyle was meant to be the team captain, but then Dennis came on board and rather took over - though actually, if you listen to how Dara O'Briain refers to the teams, he never identifies anyone as captains at all - if he's referring to a whole team, he'll say all three names, rather than X's team. --Bonalaw 15:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is it scripted

Is this scripted , i seems like it is some times. It should be mentioned either way (Gnevin 21:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC))

I'm not sure, I often see edits in the what we'd like to see sections.

It is not scripted. However sometimes the guest makes jokes that are too controversial (such as Frankie Boyle's Diana comments) or they simple swear to much and there are edits that need to be made, also although the show may air for half an hour the recording is much much longer and so sometimes things are cut simply for time scene's we'd like to see due to its nature is probably the simplest to cut 203.59.89.175 (talk) 15:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Endless quotes

Do we really need all these quotes from the show? Although funny, it's not really encyclopaedic, and I'd be surprised if it were good Wikipedia practice. -- Boothman _/tɔːk/ 12:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I've shortened down the list. ISD 15:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parsons

Is it not worth a mention Parsons was also a participant in the first two series' of Mock The Week? GiantSpider 18:40, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mocktheweek.JPG

Image:Mocktheweek.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How is this proceeded by Whose Line Is It Anyway?

As above Gnevin (talk) 10:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

It was created by the same people. ISD (talk) 11:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

And how does that mean it was proceeded by Whose Line Is It Anyway, this seems like WP:OR to me Gnevin (talk) 21:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] will this air in the usa?

Ok, I need to know if this will air in the US, if it doesn't I can get DVDs [when they come out] from my cousin in the UK. 172.163.111.22 (talk) 02:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Season 6?
