Dara O Briain returns for a new series with another panel of comedians applying their special brand of pseudo-satire to all matters newsworthy. Mockery mainstay Hugh Dennis is joined by returning panellists James Acaster, Angela Barnes, Ed Gamble and Zoe Lyons, while rising star Darren Harriott, whose 2017 Edinburgh show was highly recommended by the Guardian, makes his series debut.

Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit: series 3, episode 2 review

This week Josh Widdicombe and The Sky at Night's Maggie Aderin-Pocock join the regulars for some fun and games - which are reportedly edited for our benefit.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 19th February 2018

It is tough to predict what will work on TV. Exhibit A: the third series of this show, in which minor celebs play old-school video games against each other. Catnip for the hidden hordes of the callus-thumbed, but a little more trying for the casual. Tonight: Gregg Wallace (strategy) v Jodie Kidd (reflexes).
