The panellists are The panellists are David Mitchell, David Schneider and Matthew Norman.

Victoria Coren Mitchell and her guests, comedians David Mitchell and David Schneider and newspaper columnist Matthew Norman, dare to commit heresy. From June 2010.

Victoria Coren presents the programme which attempts to prove our most deeply held beliefs, the assumptions on which we base our view of the world, are all plain wrong. 

Helping Victoria commit heresy are comedians David Mitchell and David Schneider and newspaper columnist Matthew Norman, who argue against the received wisdom that the TV shouldn't be used as a babysitter. They reluctantly concede that television viewing among the under-threes should be limited - but only to around ten hours a day. How else will the little angels learn to cook?

And in a discussion about the hypocrisy of eating farmyard animals, but not domestic pets, a range of mouth-watering recipes are rolled out for loin of Labrador and fillet of feline.

Producer: Brian King
