Whatsmore Dave&#8217;s track record in this sort of thing (<strong>School of Hard Sums<\/strong>, <strong>Taskmaster<\/strong>) is really pretty good.

In theory a popular culture gameshow but really with a heavy emphasis on comedy, Billy Eichner accosts members of the public and asks them largely subjective questions for amazing prizes, although it&#8217;s a lot better than I&#8217;ve made that sound, and genuinely the first example of a vox pop style show that&#8217;s genuinely funny and worth your time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all the weather!
