Mock the Week (Seasons 1–21)

Mock the Week (2005) is a British topical panel show you can watch online on iFILM. Every week host Dara Ó Briain filled the BBC Two studio with the sharpest stand-ups Britain had — Hugh Dennis, Frankie Boyle, Andy Parsons, Russell Howard — and forced them to improvise comedy directly off that week's news. No prep, no script.

The rounds give players no run-up: a subject lands on the table and the clock is already running. That exposed, no-safety-net quality is what kept audiences coming back through nearly ten seasons. Stream Mock the Week online on iFILM.
