Mock The Week confirmed for new series

Given that it stars some of our favourite comedy performers, we can't be the only ones pleased to learn of the return of Mock The Week. Arguably one of the funniest shows on UK TV, the panel game will return to BBC Two from 9th July, according to our chums at Chortle, and the five regulars - Dara Ó Briain, Frankie Boyle, Andy Parsons, Russell Howard and Hugh Dennis - are all returning too.

It'll be the seventh series of the show, and a 12-week run has been ordered, although we're guessing that the last show will be the usual best-of compilation.

Incidentally, we've had the pleasure of interviewing three of the five regulars last year, and you can find links to the articles below....
