Frank Skinner returns to his den of disgruntlement for a new run of Orwellian humbuggery. Tonight's panel comprises Goggleboxer Scarlett Moffatt, Tardis tenant Pearl Mackie and Britain's grouch laureate Charlie Brooker. Life experiences being lined up on the conveyor belt of calamity tonight include foot-based faux pas Crocs, the awkwardness accompanying a haircut and the little cylinder of sadness accompanying every visit to a hotel since time immemorial: the UHT milk carton.

Having shown with Five Gold Rings that playalong apps can modernise gameshows, ITV now tries a riskier version of the tactic with a panel game. Jonathan Ross and Frank Skinner lead teams second-guessing how the public will vote on moral and political dilemmas; it's live, with host Alexander Armstrong reporting results gleaned from viewers prodding their devices at home. Will any questions test how xenophobic the audience is?
