A comedy pick'n'mix of panel shows, sitcoms, sketches and satire – dip your ears in and take your pick. Featuring some of comedy's top names, including Armando Iannucci, John Oliver, Nicola Coughlan, Jimmy Carr, and more.

First up is the pilot for What Happened There (the original name for what became Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive), Armando's topical panel show, starring Jimmy Carr, Lucy Porter, Dan Gaster, and John Oliver.

Weird and wonderful sketches come from our second show, Festival of the Spoken Nerd: a lollop through the underlying realities of our universe from the smash-hit brain squad made of Helen Arney, Matt Parker & Steve Mould - three physicist-mathematician-comedians who explore explain and astound with a cornucopia of physical and scientific ideas.

Our third show is Jack Bernhardt's sitcom British Troll Farm, a comedy set in a secret British military unit dedicated to fighting the social media cyberwar... badly; starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton and Derry Girls) and Daniel Ings.

Up next is Crash Course, the panel show that tests how much knowledge the brain can absorb, retain and retrieve in 24 hours. The contestants have had just one day to learn about some fascinating topics… But will they remember a damn thing? Featuring Marcus Brigstocke and Josie Lawrence.

Fifth is The Electric Hotel, home of the brilliant sketch troupe The Electric Eel. From a Marriage Guidance session that goes terribly wrong to two painters & decorators falling in love, this is the latest in a fine line of hilarious hotel comedies: John Cleese's Fawlty Towers, Neil Simon's California Suite and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining...

Next up we have God Squad, a sitcom set in a University Christian Society where the members realize that unless they adapt - they haven't got a prayer. Featuring Kiell Smith-Bynoe (Ghosts)

Seventh is Skeptic Tank, a panel show hosted by comedian Nick Doody that looks at every dodgy statistic, urban myth and piece of nonsensical parental advice offering the perfect antidote to every piece of Daily Mail nonsense you've ever had to listen to. This is where the geek bites back... Featuring Chris Addison.

… and finally, we hear Jason Hazeley & Joel Morris's tour around the toilet books of Great Britain in Are You Alright in There?. Toilet books. No, not books about toilets. The funny or fascinating books that have pride of place on any home's most exclusive shelf: the safe space – the lock-in. Featuring Diane Morgan (aka Philomena Cunk).
