From the moment host John Sergeant heehaws, you know this new panel show featuring regulars Marcus Brigstocke and Rufus Hound is a winner. The aim is to argue wittily and outrageously, as demonstrated by Dara O'Briain, who manages to compare Brigstocke to Mao Tse-tung.

Claire Webb, Radio Times, 27th October 2008

Panel shows may be two-a-penny, but this witty celebration of the art of argument definitely has something. Comedians Rufus Hound and Marcus Brigstocke and their teams defend or denounce a given statement - the funnier and more outrageous their case the better. It's presented by John Sergeant (whose laugh alone makes it worth watching).
