This was my gateway to the world of British panelshows.
A warm, charming competition (where points don't matter) that both entertains you and makes you feel like you're learning something. The premise is simple: a panel of funny people are told some odd and unexpected facts, and are then encouraged to discuss them as seriously or ridiculously as they wish.
I prefer the newer series with Sandi Toksvig hosting - Stephen Fry had his own charm, but sometimes came across as a bit snobbish. The whole back catalogue is still worth visiting, and easily sustains a bunch of rewatches.
