The enduringly likable panel show trundles cheerfully on. This week's guests for the good-natured fib-fest are Stephen Mangan, Mark Bonnar, Sheila Hancock and Anita Rani but, as ever, the show truly hits its stride when Lee Mack and David Mitchell lock horns and engage their counterintuitive comic chemistry. There are vanishingly few things we can rely on in today's bewildering world but it seems this programme is one of them.

How WILTY? became a TV institution

As it turns 10, the BBC show is now as satisfying and reliable as Friday night fish and chips. From David Mitchell and Lee Mack's comic chemistry to Bob Mortimer's genius, here's why it should keep us in hysterics for decades more.

The Trip: a show about death that deserves to live on

Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan's show is an absurd meditation on ageing - and as the years go by, it just gets better. It would be a grave mistake to stop it now.
