    This used to be one of my Christmas television highlights, but it's been terrible for many years now imho. I don't find Richard Ayoade funny outside of the IT Crowd, I think he tries way too hard.

    Michelle Wolf is enough to make me consider not watching it this year. It's hard to understate my dislike of that woman.

    Giving this a hard pass.

    I think, much like 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, channel four are just flogging a dead horse now.

    I'm not going to bother this year.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    There was a time I would look forward to seeing this... But last year was terrible and the few before that not much better.

    Peak year was Fielding and Brand.

    At least they're not trying to shoehorn in completely random celebs, like Gabby Logan, Jamie Oliver or Mel B like previous times. Don't know the Mo guy but can't be worse than Big Narstie himself (why CH4 keep shoving him down people's throats is beyond me)

    Michelle Wolf I find very hit or miss (usually more miss). That said, the rest are some of the best to have on the show and are nearly always solid. I'll watch if I'm at nothing else but won't go out of my way for it either.

    Line up looks too predictable. Mitchell will be the funniest and wittiest while getting all the answers right while that Ayode chap will be the most tiresome while getting all the answers wrong. Claudia will be ramping it up in full scattiness mode but that will quickly run out of gas. Fielding is actually a guy I quite like without finding very funny. Don’t know the others so can’t comment on them.

    It was okay, but nothing special or hilarious came out of it.

    Mo Gilligan and Michelle Wolf needn't have been there at all.

    Wasn't great at all. A couple of pretty funny David Mitchell moments was about it really. Really don't get how people find Noel Fielding's answers funny whatsoever. Just ridiculous answers over and over from the start. So boring.

    Well put. Don't feel bad about skipping it, this year.
