I admit that I did not get into this show until a few series later since it started, I guess I just forgot about it often or found other things to watch that were broadcast at the same time, but when I finally watched an episode I have hooked since. Presented by Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis), formerly of Bo' Selecta! and Bo' in the USA!, with regular team captains Holly Willoughby (nicknamed Holly "Willoughbooby") and Fearne Cotton, the show is an alternative comedy panel show looking at the popular stories of the week in the news, specifically focusing on celebrities and the culture of celebrity, and playing ridiculous and funny games to win points for the team. Regular games played include Lemon Head where the team picks a sector and answer a question based on a clue given; Keith vs. where a VT (video tape) shows Keith taking on a celebrity guest, regular guests have included Jedward (John and Edward Grimes), Verne Troyer, David Hasselhoff and the stars of Coronation Street, and the two teams have to guess who won the challenge; Cover Stories where the teams choose a category on the face of a large magazine cover, a celebrity pops out to say the category and talk a little, and then the teams a ridiculous game to get points, and finally The Buzzer Round where questions or read out or pictures are shown about recent celebrity news and the teams have to answer correctly. Guests on the panel have included Rufus Hound (formerly regular panelist), Dermot O'Leary, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Paddy McGuinness, Katie Price, Katy Brand, Peter Andre, Gareth Gates, Russell Kane, Chico Slimani (also Cover Stories), Emma Bunton, Jack Whitehall, Lee Ryan, Tim Vine, David Gest, Rob Rouse, Kerry Katona, Jason Byrne, Stephen K.

Very good!
