  • Summary

  • A brand new panel show all about those moments in our lives we’ll never get back....

    Dara Ó Briain invites two comedians to compete with their best stories of when their lives and time have been most wasted. From relationships that were never going anywhere, hours spent on call waiting, pointless DIY projects, failed attempts at self-improvement, to weird hobbies and misunderstood technology – strap in for a joyfully (and occasionally painfully) relatable celebration of our completely misspent lives.

    Devised by Ali Crockatt & David Scott (Genius)

    Produced by Lead Mojo

love this. Dara as always manages to make it conversational (which it should be ) which means you feel like you're sat at the table yourself. The guests all seem at ease and natural and the humour isn't forced making it a joy to listen too.
