The first thing about Lee Mack is that he is both highly intelligent and a super quick thinker, making him perfect for this sort of game.

What pissed me off is that they didn't add those 36 points correctly. At 15:32 you see they have 21 points, and then at 15:46 it shows 54. How the hell do you add 21 and 36 and get 54?

Some of the others were way harder. I managed to figure out unclaimed in about 50s (paused) vs some of the others I didn't find after a few min. Constable was super scrambled, with no two letters in a row.

It started just as a one off for comic relief - comedians doing a funny version of a word game tv show on in the afternoons primarily watched by pensioners and uni students. Susie and Rachel are on both versions. Susie is viewed as a national treasure, she's been doing the regular show since her 20s.
@@jivekiwi You've seen half the premise. The other half is a maths game. They choose 5 sets of numbers. Big (25, 50, 75, 100 and on) and small (under 10). Rachel then presses a button that gives a random number. They have to get as close to that number, using the numbers on the board. They can only add/subtract and multiple/divide. Along with the letters game, that is the original format, which has been on for a long time and still is. As was mentioned, this started as a joke but was so popular, it was made into a series. If you enjoy this, I recommend checking out QI (about weird facts), Have I Got News For You (about the news, so some of it is quite specific but great banter), Nevermind the Buzzcocks (about music), Would I Lie to You (comedians tell stories, the other team needs to figure out if they're lying or not), The Big Fat Quiz (1,5 hours, 3 teams of 2, about a year/decade/everything) and the king of all gameshows: Taskmaster. 5 Comedians do tasks for points for a whole season. It is amazing.
I just love that everyone applauds Jon except Sean. He is either angry or just playing his character about it, I cant tell and sadly we'll never know. But god, his reaction makes me laugh every time. Such a legend of a man.
Really think that Sean is more professional than to ‘show’ any hatred to the unfunniest, talentless waste of space that goes by the name John dickadson. This feeble person needs to be removed from television completely! He has no idea of a comeback to any bantering! He should be working in a frozen fish finger packing warehouse, where I’m sure he would put the wrong number of fish fingers in each box!

Lee Mack does such a good idiot, but this should remind you that he's a fucking genius. And if you watch more panel clips of him, he's faster than lightning with his wit, and never misses the mark.

I didn't know this show until my best friend Tim & his lovely wife saved Major & I. Sadly Major passed away, I now have Sergeant, another beautiful Datamation

I always find it reassuring how many 9s I get as a non-native speaker. :)
Idolaters is the most impressive 9 letter I've seen. What a geek 😂
Marvellous as always. I would like to know, though, whether Sarah really did get that nine with the help of John's powerful beard. 🙂
The first bit is my favourite ever.
At @10:50, you couldn't have stopped me from going broke with "Thwearing" and telling them to go argue it out with Mike Tyson.
I didn't know this show until my best friend Tim & his lovely wife saved Major & I. Sadly Major passed away, I now have Sergeant, another beautiful Datamation

Jon is the goat of this game for sure haha
15:15 Sean! 🤣🤣🤣
Peter Serafinowicz is a comedian's Comedian. Only other comedians appreciate what it takes to be that witty, let alone how quick.
You do know as soon as Jon stood on that chair and he raised his arms in salute? He was almost as tall as a real human?

It was "idolaters"
I have seen the first clip so many times before but only just realised the pole joke at the beginning 😮😂😂
I love British comedians they look like allt o be great friends
Love the content. Quick question... this video is over 20 minutes long so how is it a Short? 😕
That steadings play was absolutely absurd.
Saltation is a form of transport for sediment in rivers. Small rocks or pebbles which are too big to be carried within the water are transported and bounce along the bottom of the river bed.
god! put a jumpscare warning or content warning whenever james cordon is on! scared me shitless, and left me unnerved each time i saw his face.
It's so amazing how Susie knows Saltation is not in the dictionary, but that it would be in the digital dictionary. Blows my mind.
Does have to be noted that Peter loathes Corden… and didn’t want to be in a studio with him.
Peter is not alone with that feeling.
