About this listen

What would Jonathan Agnew do if he wasn't a cricket commentator? Who would play Romesh Ranganathan in a film of his life? What's the naughtiest thing Sara Pascoe did as a child?

It's not what you know but who you know that matters...and, indeed, how well you know them. The show is a bit like ‘Mr and Mrs’, except that it's not played by husbands and wives. Instead, panellists can pick anyone they like: dad, cousin, best friend, mother-in-law.

What is Bridget Christie's worst fear? Or Ainsley Harriott's worst habit? Or Seann Walsh's worst gig?

All these burning questions, and more, will be answered in this BBC comedy panel show hosted by Miles Jupp, where panellists are tested on how well they know their nearest and dearest.

Get to know panellists such Rebecca Front, Roisin Conaty, Mark Steel, Tom Wrigglesworth, Ed Byrne, Tony Hawks, Rachel Riley, Richard Madeley, Dave Gorman, Lucy Porter, Richard Osman, Frankie Boyle, Susan Calman, Sara Cox, Katherine Ryan, Alan Johnson and Sarah Millican.

Produced by Sam Michell.

Great entertainment- very funny and quite a few laugh out loud moments, ideal listening while walking the dog at night - not a euphemism.

Very Fun. Very Enjoyable. Miles Jupp and Joe Lycett are both funny but for different reasons. Haven't heard of half the people in it but it's made me laugh a lot.

It's pretty good.

What a fantastic show with a truly wide range of guests. Some minor repetition of questions into the later series but not to detract from the entertainment. The change of host provided a good variation too.
Definitely one to revisit again once in your library.

I bought this again and persevered with it. My previous review still stands, Miles Jupps constant stupid jokes and the "nice bunch of lads" running jokes were irritating, I just got used to pressing the 30 seconds fwd button so I missed the stupid stuff. It was a good series and quite frankly Joe Lysett was actually better than MJ and I enjoyed his episodes more. I do like Miles Jupp but he tries TOO hard and tries to be TOO clever. It was just tedious. I listened to the whole 25 episodes in 1 sitting when I couldn't sleep, it got me through the night and part of the following day. Some of it was laugh out loud funny. So, I've changed my mind from previous review. It's worth a listen definitely.

Bought this with a credit,as I've exhausted my "ISIHAC" episodes! An interesting format,and hilarious in some parts! Celebrities pick a nominee (friend,family member) to answer questions about them,and the celeb has to guess what answer the nominee said,with sometimes hilarious results. Most of the shows are presented by Miles Jupp,who does a grand job,and is rather witty....but....whilst driving home tonight,I plugged in for another laugh on the way home,and found the programme is now being presented by Joe Lycett.....and it lost its sparkle for me. Joe's voice is extremely annoying,and to be honest,he's just not funny. I don't know if Miles Jupp presented it before or after Joe Lycett,I'm hoping it's the latter,and I hope another series is commissioned,as it is good fun. Another gripe is these "modern female comedians"....Holly Walsh,Katherine Ryan,Sara Pascoe....I just don't find them funny......but apart from that,great value! hours of entertainment for 1 credit!

Funny....but......

a great item, so many hours of hilarity with Mike Jupp and the Joe Lycett. Really funny, really enjoyable, fits a journey to school and back!

I actually do really like Joe Lycett but he was not a patch on Miles Jupp presenting. After Miles left i just did not enjoy it anywhere near as much and the guests were not as good either. I would recommend it for the Miles Jupp episodes.

Miles Jupp is just brilliant.

Great idea for a game show. Miles Jupp is very quick witted and hilariously funny. It was all going so well until Joe Lycett took over. Then it quickly went from marvellous, clever and hugely entertaining to being bland and ordinary. Thankfully Jupp hosts the majority of the shows (the first 4 series?) so it’s definitely worth getting, but Lycett’s final series is very missable.

Highly enjoyable for the most part.

Thoroughly enjoyable Radio 4 panel game - great to while away a journey on enjoy with a day at the cricket.
