This simple game of anecdotes that may or may not be true is as entertaining as it is because of the trio of regulars: the host (Rob Brydon) and the team captains (David Mitchell and Lee Mack). Their shared chemistry and ability to bounce off of each other is what saves any episode with subpar guests.
There are certainly many guests who are great at the game and very entertaining to listen, but they alone couldn't have carried this show for the 15 years it's been on.
Since there is rarely anything topical about the anecdotes, all of the series (except the first two) feel pretty much as fresh now as they did back in the day.
