Dads comedy panel show hosted by Tim Vincent. With regulars Russell Kane and Mick Ferry, Tim discusses kids' TV and films with actor Will Mellor and comedian Sean Hegarty.

Tim Vincent, the middle-aged father of twin boys, hosts this comedy panel show about parenting from the paternal perspective. Once again, Tim is joined by comedians and series regulars Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In the final episode of the series, The Likely Dads discuss the TV programmes and films that have left a mark on memories of fatherhood. Is there anything they remember watching with their children that they enjoyed? Is there anything that they really couldn't stand? And was there anything they ever wanted their children to like that they simply refused to?

Dads' memories are put to the test as they're asked to name theme tunes from programmes their children might have watched and ones they might have watched themselves as kids. 

In a regular feature, Russell and Mick compare fathering notes in the Dad-Off and one of The Likely Dads has to guess how their children responded to a series of questions about them.

Tim, Mick and Russell are joined by Hollyoaks and Broadchurch actor Will Mellor and comedian and Ireland's Got Talent star Sean Hegarty.
