A Wedgie from History

Frank Skinner hosts the show based on what we all do at least once a day – shop online and leave a review. An all-star panel celebrate the good, the bad and the baffling.

Frank Skinner and guests Sunil Patel, Angela Barnes, Anna Thomas and Marcus Brigstocke look at shiny fish, sexy horses and where Sir Walter Raleigh should have put his potato.

Everyone has an online life, and when the great British public put pen to keyboard to leave a review, they almost always write something hilarious. And our all-star panel have to work out just what they were reviewing – and maybe contribute a few reviews of their own. So if you’re the person who reviewed some tinsel by saying “does what it says on the tin”, this show salutes you!
