What channel is Mock The Week On and is it free to watch?
Iconic tv panel show Mock the Week returns for a brand new series tonight at 9pm on TLC, and no, you don’t have to pay to watch it! TLC is available on Discovery+, Sky, Cable, Freeview and Freely meaning it is free to watch.
Dara Ó Briain returns to the host’s chair, alongside Mock the Week favourites Hugh Dennis, Ed Byrne, Angela Barnes, Milton Jones and Russell Howard. The refreshed line-up also includes Katherine Ryan, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Ellie Taylor, Glenn Moore, Sarah Keyworth, Ahir Shah and Rhys James.
Watch a preview of tonight’s episode in which the Mock the Week panels mock the Beckhams…
Axed by the BBC in 2022, the panel show is making a comeback in an expanded 60-minute format, complete with brand-new rounds created for the revival, as well as classic segments such as If This Is the Answer, What Is the Question?, Wheel of News, Picture of the Week and Scenes We’d Like to See.
“I’m genuinely delighted to be back doing Mock the Week and on TLC,” said host Dara Ó Briain. “From what I remember, it’s a show that thrives on silly jokes from smart people and any actual insight is purely accidental. Also, from what I remember, my job was mainly just pressing a buzzer and handing out imaginary points. I can still do that. Here, have some imaginary points! That’s how easy it is. Also, it’s coming back just in time to confuse people who had only just heard it had been cancelled. See you there!”
Earlier this week, Dara told Chris Evans on Virgin Radio that it’s very much the same show, so “those who loved it will love it and those who hated it will hate it”.
Does TLC have a streaming service?
No, but there is TLC +1 on Channel 99 to catch up.
