Would I Lie to You? (Seasons 1–19)

Would I Lie to You? (2007) is the BBC One comedy panel show you can watch online on iFILM. Team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell, joined by celebrity guests, read out absurd claims about themselves while the other side has to work out whether each story is true or a complete fabrication.

Rob Brydon hosts, having taken over from Angus Deayton after the first run. The rounds sound tame and play out brutally funny: "Home Truths", "This Is My..." and "Quickfire Lies". A guest deadpans that a penguin once bit them or that they collect strangers' teeth, and the opposing team grills them line by line trying to spot the tell. Greg Davies, Bob Mortimer, Sarah Millican, Rod Gilbert and dozens more British comics have all passed through the studio.

The real engine here is improvisation. Half the best moments come not from the prepared cards but from Mack and Mitchell needling each other live on air. A great pick if you like dry British wit and a good lie-detector game. Stream Would I Lie to You? online on iFILM.
