Would I Lie To You?

Did Dom Joly go to school with Osama Bin laden? Is there an Anne Robinson flavour of ice cream? Did Tara Palmer-Tomkinson once eat a diamond? If these are the kind of questions that rattle around in your head, nagging at you day-in day-out, then you're going to love Would I Lie To You?

Hosted by Angus Deayton, with team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack, Would I Lie To You? assembles TV's most eloquent comedians and pits them against each other in a game of bluff, double bluff and triple bluff (or is that just back to 'bluff' again?)

Contestants take it in turn to relay embarrassing personal tales, or incredible facts to the opposing team. Some of them are true, some of them complete codswallop. The other team must then decide whether what they are saying is true or false by interrogating them. Some of the personal tales are quite revealing, and you may be shocked by what you learn about the celebrities. Or you may not, you big old cynic.

Sounds suspiciously like Call My Bluff? Yes, agreed, there may be some similarities in the format. But where Call My Bluff is now around 1,000 years out of date, this is shiny, modern and has comedians you have actually heard of. Oh, and Sandy Toksvig is nowhere to be seen. Instead you get guests like Frankie Boyle, Vic Reeves, Dara O'Briain and Jimmy Carr.
