British Comedy Guide, 19th January 2015Radio Times review
Ray Mears walks straight into Frank Skinner's comedy trap when he suggests that fakes should be consigned to Room 101. He always wants to have the real thing. "I agree. We tried to get Bear Grylls rather than you. But he cost ten grand!" is Skinner's response.
Ray brings a certain gravitas to the show, while fellow panellists Fiona Bruce and Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan keep it light. Actually, Ryan has some extraordinary dance moves and even more unusual pet peeves. She believes nappies should only be available on prescription, and that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is not only part of a government conspiracy but also a robot.

Now 31, she's a veteran of the Edinburgh Festival and panel shows such as QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Have I Got News For You, as well as the sitcoms Campus and Episodes. Here - ahead of a gig at Cambridge Junction - she talks about feeling like a Londoner, and having a 'ridiculous' accent.
