High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mock the Week is a British topical celebrity panel game, hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The game is influenced by improvised topical stand-up comedy, with several rounds requiring players to deliver answers on unexpected subjects on the spur of the moment. It is made by independent production company Angst Productions and made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005. The programme returned for an eighth series of seven episodes in January 2010. Episodes regularly attract 3.5 million viewers. Another series has been commissioned. Created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Some games past and present are rather similar to games in Whose Line Is It Anyway? particularly past games such as Dating Games and Ask the Politicians. The show's theme music is "News of the World" by The Jam.
