A comedy panel show described by ITV2 as "Have I Got News for You meets Heat magazine".

The eight episode series saw Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis) quizzing the teams about the showbiz stories of the week. The teams were captained by Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby, with each team consisting of a guest comedian and a celebrity.

Our Review: A terribly cheap panel show which even Leigh Francis struggled to breathe any life or excitement into... the host had to resort to knob gags and silly voices in an attempt to fill the silence in the studio.

The problem was that neither the team captains, nor the majority of the guests, were comedians - thus the task of generating humour was dumped pretty much solely upon the shoulders of the already over-worked host.

Summary: the worst panel show since And Then You Die. Dreadful (except if you're a single male... in which case there's the lovely Holly Willoughby to keep you watching).

ITV2 were obviously happy enough with the series though as it will be returning in 2009 for a second series.
