PittTheElder posted:The best thing about it is that they've figured out that real game shows were bullshit. So instead of nonsense like @Midnight, where they inexplicably cling to the illusion of the game show format with short trivia responses, the BBC knows that all you really need to do is put a bunch of comedians in a room and let them talk to each other, and the "game" element is just the host throwing out a conversation topic. Why don't they just do a knockoff of Whose Line Is It Anyway, then? It only very loosely has a game show format, and even then it's all played for laughs.

Deteriorata posted:Basically, yes. The BBC has a bazillion panel shows that are just a set-up for clever, witty people to say clever, witty things. Most of the panelists are technically comedians or other entertainers, but they seem to spend most of their time skipping from one show to another rather than actually performing anywhere. It's not just the Beeb, panel shows are cheap and generally pretty entertaining so all the channels have them. The reason why you see the same people over and over again on them is they all have the same agent who happens to be a part-owner of Talkback and Endemol, the two companies that make most of those shows (there's a similar situation with stand-up television shows and Avalon, who have their own agency too). I don't mind it so much because if it weren't for OTK desperately trying to get a new star some exposure, Simon Amstell would have never become host of NMTB and so we'd have never got this moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXOu4ePnMM8

If it's a steady paying gig that keeps throwing work at them, well, can you blame them?

I have no idea if she had any idea what she was getting into, but I don't think Frankie was as harsh to her as he was to some of the other people he's had a go at. c.f. Richard Hammond.

Taking the question seriously, improv comedy is a very different skill from the 'witty comment' brand of comedy found on most of these shows and a large amount of the regular faces wouldn't be any good. Also improv isn't funny.
