Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC FourLatest broadcast: on BBC Four

Anarchic comedy game show in which celebrity guests answer questions set by the public.

Mark Watson hosts, Tim Key is in the questionmaster's chair and Alex Horne provides expert analysis from a booth as two celebrities battle it out to be crowned the winner and avoid the shame of donning 'The Clogs of Defeat'.

Award-winning comic actress Sharon Horgan takes on explorer and anthropologist Benedict Allen.

The rules are simple - contestants must match their answer to the one given by a text answering service. Questions range from 'How many pints of Guinness would fell an Irish horse?' to 'How does one escape from quicksand?'

In the cunning physical challenge which pits the contestants against each other, Sharon and Benedict are given the task of crying on cue. Show less
