The new series doesn't appear to have a thread so thought I'd start one.
The series that started in January - then yanked for Jon & Lucy's Odd Couples, which flopped - is resuming this coming Friday (teams Sarah Millican & Jonathan Ross, Tom Allen & Roisin Conaty, and Dictionary Corner guest Sam Campbell). There's even more apparent bizarre scheduling as the episode the following Friday (18th) is a new Best Bits special, with the episodes on the two Fridays after that seemingly new. At this point, C4 deciding to randomly lump a compilation into the middle of a new series doesn't surprise me.
----------------
Multiple recording sessions for the next series (unless there's been some recordings I've missed, and these dates are for the series after next) have also been confirmed. I've been tracking when they've taken place on SRO Audiences' website, and so far I'm aware of the following dates, with two recording sessions on each:
- A date in mid-July I can't remember (also came across a Twitter post indicating one on Mon 3rd July, but unsure as to whether that's it or a different one)
- A date earlier this week I can't remember
- Tuesday 8th August
- Sunday 3rd September
- Wednesday 13th September
That means at least ten episodes in the bank by mid-September.
Someone's also put in some incorrect guest details for this Friday's coming episode on Wikipedia (teams Richard Ayoade & Laura Smith, Jon Richardson & Katherine Ryan, with DC guest Mat Ewins), which is either vandalism or those were the guests for one of the episodes filmed recently (which I'd be glad with, as Mat Ewins was great when he was last on).
