Created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show Whose Line is it Anyway?. Mock the Week is usually described as a cross between Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Have I Got News For You. There are two teams of three, with Frankie Boyle and Hugh Dennis on one side and Russell Howard and Andy Parsons on the other (with one member of each team being a guest panelist each week). Howard and Parsons have been regulars on the show since series five (series 1 & 2 featured Rory Bremner and two guest panelists), although both were very frequent panelists in series 3-4.

Following the July 7 2005 London bombings, the last programme in the series, scheduled for July 10, 2005, was replaced at short notice by a selection of highlights from previous shows. This was mainly because the recording of the programme was due to take place on the evening of July 7 but the closedown of London's transport system meant that many audience members, as well as some of those due to appear on the programme, couldn't attend. However, the Channel 4 topical comedy 8 Out of 10 Cats which was being recorded in another studio at BBC Television Centre did go ahead but made use of panelists and production team members from Mock the Week who turned up to fill the panel and audience.

A second series began in January 2006, ending in March. The previous clip show actually rated well, so the second series ended in the same way as the first series. Then BBC2 recommissioned Mock the Week for a third series on September 14, 2006, for six episodes, followed by another clip show on 24 December 2006. The fourth series began on January 12, 2007, with its clip show airing on Monday 19 February.

Guest Panel

The Studio is divided into several areas. Hugh's team sits to Dara's right, with Frankie sitting on Hugh's right hand side. The opposing team (formerly Rory's team, now Andy and Russell's team) sit to Dara's left, with Russell sitting nearest to Dara, and Andy sitting the furthest to the left.

Next to Hugh's team is the Press Pit, which is basically a large desk where they play Between the Lines. Next to this is the Performance Area which is a much larger area with a large TV monitor, which is normally used for stand-up challenges such as Dating Videos and Scenes we'd like to see.

Although Hugh Dennis is in effect a team captain (and is sometimes referred to as such in publicity material), such a distinction is never actually made on the programme itself. For the first two series Rory Bremner was considered to be the other team captain, but since series 3 he left the show and was replaced by a changing guest. From series five, Andy Parsons and Russell Howard became regulars on the team opposite Dennis and Boyle, both having previously been described as regular guest (Parsons appeared throughout series 3 and 4, while Howard appeared in four out of six programmes in series 3 and all of series 4). Rory Bremner FKC (born 6 April 1961, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British impressionist and comedian, noted for his political satire. ... Andy Parsons is a British comedian and writer, best known for his work with comedy partner Henry Naylor. ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Although each episode has a winning and losing team, questions and games exist mainly to provide starting points for improvised comedy routines rather than to function as a serious competition and specific scores are never referred to. It is common for rounds to be contested with only members from the same team participating and for Dara O'Briain to end rounds by declaring simply "points for everyone".

Main Games

These rounds appear the most often.

Headliners

This round is played by all the players. In this round, a photo of someone famous in the news is given, along with the initial letters of a newspaper headline. The players have to guess what the headline is.

Between the Lines

This game takes place in the Press Pit and for the first two series was normally played by the team captains. In series 3, when Rory Bremner left, Frankie Boyle took his place, despite the fact that both Hugh and Frankie are on the same team. In this round, one player tries to impersonate someone in the news that week giving a press conference. The other player (normally Hugh) tells us what the person is really saying. The best performance wins.

Exceptions to this come when Sandi Toksvig took over to impersonate Queen Elizabeth II. Rory Bremner has played Tony Blair, Prince Charles, George W. Bush, Charles Kennedy, and Michael Howard. Frankie Boyle has played Saddam Hussein, Sir Menzies Campbell, David Cameron, George W. Bush, Prince Charles, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Osama bin Laden, David Beckham and Vladimir Putin.

This game has appeared more often than not in Series 3 and 4.

Newsreel

This round is played by two players, one from each side. In this round, a piece of news footage is played with no sound. The players have to act out what each person is saying, normally having no relationship to what the incident really is. The best individual performance wins.

Recently, this round was replaced with one called "Royal Commentary" with only Hugh playing, where he provides a commentary on a royal event.

Spinning the News

This game takes place in the Performance Area. In the first and second series all six players took part, but from the third on, only four did, with usually the captains not playing (this also means that guests who are not from a stand-up comedy background can sit this round out, as happened when Lauren Laverne was a guest). On the TV is a, "Random News Generator," with several topics on it. A topic (such as the Olympics, the police, Scotland, the health service, etc) is picked at random, and one of the players has to perform a piece on the topic it has landed on. If Dara judges that he/she has got a big enough laugh, then he/she gets to sit down again. The first team to have all their players sitting down wins. If one player from each team is left, then it goes to sudden death. A random topic is picked and both players have to perform on that piece. The one who gets the biggest laughs wins. In series 3, it was changed so that the last player was given a different topic which they would have to speak on. Lauren Laverne in 2007 Lauren Laverne (born Lauren Gofton on 28 April 1978 in Sunderland, England) is a disc jockey, television presenter and former singer. ...

Since series two, the name of round changed in every show (For example, "Round and round and round it goes, where it lands, do some jokes", and "Stand up and Joke off") or it can be part of a Recurring Joke of The Episode (For Example "It's only Nuts on The Road"). The last show in the series 2 gave the round with its name in French.

In Series three this was changed so that four people would play, but then when they had done, the player would stand back where they were. Then Dara would just choose the best side (either Andy's or Frankie's), and that team would win. This way of playing this round is still being used in Series 4 and 5.

If this is the answer, what is the question?

This round is played by all the players. In this round, a set of six categories is given to the players, covering topics such as sport, health, home affairs, world news, and the environment. Behind each topic is an answer, and the players have to try and guess what the question was.

This is similar to the American game show Jeopardy! where players have to respond in the form of a question. Jeopardy! is an international television quiz game show. ...

Scenes we'd like to see

Traditionally the final round in the show. This game takes place in the Performance Area, and is played by everyone. In this round, the players are given a scenario for an event which is almost certain never to happen, and the players give their suggestions to the scenario if it were to happen. This is very similar to the game "Scenes from a hat" from both the British and American versions of Whose line is it anyway?. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Other games

These rounds have so far been played in Series 1 and 2. However Bombshell Phone Calls did make one appearance in the first episode of Series 3.

Dating Videos

This game takes place in the Performance Area. Normally two rounds are played, with one player from each team performing in the Performance Area. The player is given the name of a famous person and has to record a lonely hearts ad in the style of that person. The other players have to try and guess who they are.

Ask the Politicians

This is Mock the Week's tribute to the current affairs program Question Time. Normally two or three players go into the studio audience, and others stay in their seats. Dara acts as the host of the show, with the other players (normally the team captains and one or two other guests) playing politicians. Dara tells the players who they will be pretending to be. Former team captain Rory Bremner was normally a famous Labour politician, and Hugh was normally a Conservative spokesman. The players in the audience give questions to the players acting, and they have to answer the questions given to them in their roles. The best performance wins. This article does not cite any references or sources. ... Rory Bremner FKC (born 6 April 1961, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British impressionist and comedian, noted for his political satire. ...

So far, guest Al Murray has appeared twice as "The Voice of the Silent Majority," where he adopts a right-wing persona, normally xenophobic and with a harsh line on crime, using amusing phrases such as "speaking for the people who would have shot that burglar a third time..."; this is recognisable as an allusion to his famous Pub Landlord character. Al Murray (born May 10, 1968) is an English comedian best known for his stand-up persona, the Pub Landlord, a stereotypical xenophobic public house licensee, and indeed earlier in his career he performed in pubs as though it were genuinely his gaff. Murray has toured with other comedians (including... Xenophobia means fear of strangers or the unknown and comes from the Greek ξενοφοβια, xenophobia, literally meaning fear of the strange. It is often used to describe fear of or dislike of foreigners, but racism in general is sometimes described as a...

Prime Minister's Questions

This round is played by all the players. In this round, Dara plays the Speaker of the British House of Commons. Rory plays the Prime Minister, and the rest of his team being front-bench MPs. Hugh's team play the opposition party. In this round, the teams are given a rather trivial news story, but treat it as it was the heavyweight issue of the day. The best performance wins. In the United Kingdom, the Speaker of the House of Commons is the presiding officer of the House of Commons, and is seen historically as the First Commoner of the Land. ...

In series one, Mark Steel, who was playing on Rory Bremner's team, did a reasonably accurate impersonation of John Prescott. Mark Steel (born 1961) is an English socialist columnist and comedian. ... Rory Bremner FKC (born 6 April 1961, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British impressionist and comedian, noted for his political satire. ... For other persons named John Prescott, see John Prescott (disambiguation). ...

Bombshell Phone Calls

This round is played by two players, one from each side. In this round, the two players play famous people having a telephone conversation (normally Rory and Frankie). During the conversation, one of them will drop a bombshell, which the other player has to react to. The best performance wins.

Titles

The title sequence is made up of mock newspapers and other media outlets that lampoon recent events. The media outlets are:

• The Newspaper. Its headline is "Brown: Blame Blair - it was all his fault" and reports that Prince Harry is to be deployed on his military service to Dorset (rather than Iraq), which is described as "volatile", and that the medals for the 2012 London Olympics won't be ready until 2013. There is also a commentary on the need of the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
• MTW Network. The breaking news is that President Bush has ordered an invasion of France (due to it having concealed weapons of mass destruction) with tickers announcing that George Bush Senior is to be crowned "Emperor of the World" next week.
• MTW Politics. The main headline is that David Cameron has insisted "One is an ordinary chap" – a reference to his privilidged upbringing and Old Etonian status, while Menzies Campbell announces that his name is pronounced "Mingis", while Ian Paisley is to join Big Brother.
• The Daily Tabloid: Its headline is "24 Hour Drinking : 'It's not enough time' storms Freddie" – a reference to when Andrew Flintoff was seen the worse for wear after England won the 2005 Ashes series, with a byline that the Queen states: "You're one's best mate".
• MTW Webnews. Its lead story is video of Pope Benedict XVI greeting the crowds at the Vatican, holding a mobile phone that itself reports that David Beckham is running for the US Senate.
• MTW Interactive News. This has four leading stories: "Flooding Warning", with a video of Paula Radcliffe running, referencing the incident when she took a comfort break by the roadside during a marathon; a golfing official claims that the sport is "offiicially dull"; Jamie Oliver has solved world hunger; and that cow-hunting is to be banned. This is covered by the caveat that the programme makers accept no liability for anything whatsoever, at all, ever.
