      Mock The Week was non-stop laughs from start to finish, no scripting, not afraid to speak their mind or tell slightly risky jokes for fear of being cancelled etc. That's because they used actual comedians, not just random politicians and celebrities nobody has heard of or cares about. The team captains on Have I Got News For You are great but other than that, very hit or miss.
