A statement from Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that Mock the Week is to return to TV screens in 2026. It will be produced by Angst Productions and shown on TLC, which goes free-to-air next January to replace HGTV.

Who will be in the cast is not yet known, however.

If it’s as poor a revival as Buzzcocks it won’t be worth watching.

This series without Daisy Coopef is much better but Mark Lamarr was peak Buzzcocks

I tend to agree but the Simon Amstell best bits compilation on YouTube is hilarious.

If there's no Dara in the chair, there'll be no interest from me!

Knowing how things are going, it'll probably be hosted by Rosie Jones, with Daisy May Cooper and Nish Kumar as team captains

Why? It was about ten years past its sell-by date when the BBC finally canned it. The usual rota of Avalon comedians shoehorning their weak observational comedy in around ‘ad-libbed’ milquetoast comments on the week’s news. Yawn.

If I sound angry about this, it’s because I am. There’s a dearth of quality political satire on UK TV and it’s never been more needed. The best we can do is HIGNFY, which is pretty feeble these days.

What we really need is for TW3 to come back. Trouble is they're all dead. Perhaps AI could do it.

I think my tv is suffering from Romesh screen burn as he’s never off the TV despite me switching over as soon as I see him appear.

Even this one is good.

I do miss Simon Amstell though! He was a great host!
