From quick wit to chaotic banter, British panel shows are a national pastime. Rank them from mildly amusing to proper tea-spitting brilliant.
Put the items in your preferred order.

Taskmaster
Five comedians, bizarre tasks, and Greg Davies looming like a disappointed headmaster. It's become the gold standard for absurd panel telly.

Would I Lie to You?
The panel show where you genuinely can't tell if someone actually owns 47 cardigans or trained a squirrel. David Mitchell's outrage is half the fun.

Mock the Week
For years it was the go-to for comedians roasting the week's news. Dara Γ Briain's raised eyebrow did the heavy lifting.

QI
Originally Stephen Fry, now Sandi Toksvig, dishing out obscure facts while Alan Davies gets things gloriously wrong. Educational and daft in equal measure.

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
A daytime staple reinvented as a chaotic comedy beast. Sean Lock's surreal answers remain legendary telly.
