Sarah Millican hosts a panel show using surveys to discover who is the most Average Jolene, and who is the most Maverick Matilda.

On the sparkling panel:

Zoe Lyons
Kerry Godliman
Lou Conran
Jason Cook

Surveys on subjects including childhood, daily rituals and favourite cheese are the basis for Sarah's questions to the panellists, discovering who is the closest to, and furthest from, the average. Surprising quirks, hilarious insights and unexpected anecdotes are revealed along the way.

The winner will be the most average. But joint winner will be the most different, the furthest from the norm. 

A little bit like a dinner party, but one where you know all of the spoons. 

A Chopsy production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2019.
