There are few bad days that can’t be remedied by watching an episode of Would I Lie To You?
This award-winning BBC panel show has been making us laugh for over 15 years thanks to hilarious repeat performances from the likes of Bob Mortimer and Rhod Gilbert, and the top-tier chemistry between team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell and host Rob Brydon.
It’s created so many legendary funny moments that picking a favourite is almost impossible, but here are the Would I Lie To You? stories that have gone down in TV history:
16. Henning Wehn Goes Missing in Morocco
Henning Wehn appears to have gone to the Kevin Bridges School of Storytelling (more on that later) – his yarns have a similarly scatter-brained approach that are pleasingly impossible to predict. Here he claims Interpol listed him as a missing person when he went on a bike ride in Spain...

Every time Alex Horne is asked about his dream Taskmaster contestant, he says Jack Dee. Every. Single. Time. And yet in fourteen series and two (soon to be three) New Year Specials, they still haven’t managed to book Jack Dee for the show.
The Taskmaster team have posted this teaser ahead of tonight’s final, after which we’ll discover the Series 15 cast, so there’s hope yet that Dee is one of these elusive one-man-bands:

Feeling festive? No? Well, allow Elton John and Ed Sheeran to change that with the their newly released Christmas single. The song is simply titled "Merry Christmas"; however, it's anything but simple as the video takes us through a journey of reinventing Christmas classics.
The video opens with John and Sheeran wearing matching festive Gucci tracksuits (the first of many epic coordinating outfits), singing by the piano and an open fire. It continues with Sheeran flying with The Snowman and a snowy nod to Wham's "Last Christmas". But best of all, the video features a reenactment of East 17's "Stay Another Day" with special guests Michael McIntyre, Jonathan Ross, and Big Narstie - yes, really. The special Christmas classics don't end there either, but you're just going to have to watch and enjoy it for yourself.
Sheeran first announced the Christmas duet back in October, when he appeared on a Dutch talk show.

This year came packed to the brim with surprises, both good and bad. From a pandemic to randomly appearing monoliths to two albums from Taylor Swift, 2020 has kept people on their toes.
And it’s finally coming to an end. Rather than celebrate the closing of this year at grand, in-person parties or festivals, streamers and linear television networks are offering safe at-home alternatives on Dec. 31. Why go out when you can ring in the new year from your living room, anyways?
“Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021” has enlisted Jennifer Lopez to perform as the headliner this year. The show will also feature more performances and celebrate the music that came out of 2020.

At first I was a bit hesitant to return to reviews with a band which I have written pages and pages on before but The Spark by the St Albans band Enter Shikari isn’t something one can simply ignore.
Since the release of Live Outside and Supercharge (ft. Big Narstie) I was a bit taken aback with the new direction the band were heading down. In a bit of a conflict with one of my previous articles (where I pretty much Slated Fall Out Boy’s new sound) I found Shikari’s new sound to grow on me, quite a lot actually. Heavier isn’t always better and The Spark proves this very well.
Singer Rou Reynolds has previously been very open about the struggles he was going through before and during the writing process of the album. In an interview with Buzzmag, Rou said: “The weirdest thing was...

Amid the cosy repeats and cranberry-stuffed cookery shows on TV over the next few weeks are a few gems. There’s no Sherlock or Charlie Brooker’s TV Wipe this year, but there are plenty of treats, not least the return of The League Of Gentlemen for a three-part anniversary series and Peter Capaldi’s last hurrah in the Tardis in the Doctor Who Christmas episode.
