Company
Following the success of Channel 4's Alternative Election Night in 2010, Channel 4 ordered this topical comedy show from the same team.
Hosted by Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker and Lauren Laverne; this topical comedy show is broadcast live at 10pm each week.
Each presenter has their own section, and all four come together for some parts of the show:
Jimmy Carr delivers gags at the start of the show (and, in the first two series, performed sketches too).
David Mitchell chairs discussions and conducts interviews (and also delivered a monologue in earlier series).
Charlie Brooker takes an acerbic and cynical look at the week's media coverage with the help of video clips.
Meanwhile, Lauren Laverne chairs the team's round-table discussions on the big topics of the week. In Series 2 she also challenged viewers to think differently about topics in pre-prepared pieces.
The first series, broadcast in early 2011, took place on Thursday nights almost directly opposite the BBC's Question Time. Series 2 moved to Wednesdays, with tweaks to the format allowing each feature to be given more airtime. Series 3 stayed on Wednesdays, with further sections cut to allow for more time for the interviews and round table discussions.
