Including Johnny Vegas, Katherine Ryan, Trevor Noah, Aisling Bea, Bridget Christie, Max and Ivan and Nina Conti.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 31st July 2015Controversial new series in which celebrities have their social media accounts scrutinised for embarrassing facts, before being humiliated until they use their safe word. Rick Edwards hosts and Katherine Ryan and David Morgan are among the comedians who roast. The first victims are lovable loon Joey Essex and boxer David Haye, who go in for a verbal joust. It's the show that Sinitta called "vile" and she may be on to something as Joey's Twitter account is hacked to make a spoof announcement that he's going to be a dad. Cheap lolz.

Ben Williams, Time Out, 10th July 2015Review - Katherine Ryan, Glam Role Model
Perhaps all that TV work has helped take Katherine Ryan to the next level, because she really is a powerful, fluid communicator, and she has the smartz and mass appeal to go with it. Or to put it another way, she's the Beyoncé of comedy.
Paul Fleckney, London Is Funny, 22nd June 2015Radio Times review
When this show first aired ten years ago - back when Twitter didn't exist, David Cameron was Shadow Education Secretary and Andy Murray was outside the world's top 400 - it didn't look like much. Yet another panel show, and an unprepossessing mix of Have I Got News for You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? to boot - surely it wouldn't go on to be one of TV comedy's most reliable ratings bankers?
Well, it did - and now it's back for a triumphant 14th series, with Dara O Briain still in charge and a roster of strong comics, old and new: Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Matt Forde and Josh Widdicombe join hoary regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons.
