Mock the Week is usually described as a cross between Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Have I Got News For You. There are two teams of three, with Frankie Boyle and Hugh Dennis on one side and Russell Howard and Andy Parsons on the other (with one member of each team being a guest panelist each week). The Studio is divided into several areas. Hugh's team sits to Dara's right, with Frankie sitting on Hugh's right hand side. The opposing team (formerly Rory's team, now Andy and Russell's team) sit to Dara's left, with Russell sitting nearest to Dara, and Andy sitting the furthest to the left. Next to Hugh's team is the Press Pit, which is basically a large desk where they play Between the Lines. Next to this is the Performance Area which is a much larger area with a large TV monitor, which is normally used for stand-up challenges such as Dating Videos and Scenes we'd like to see. Although Hugh Dennis is in effect a team captain (and is sometimes referred to as such in publicity material), such a distinction is never actually made on the programme itself. For the first two series Rory Bremner was considered to be the other team captain, but since series 3 he left the show and was replaced by a changing guest. From series five, Andy Parsons and Russell Howard became regulars on the team opposite Dennis and Boyle, both having previously been described as regular guest (Parsons appeared throughout series 3 and 4, while Howard appeared in four out of six programmes in series 3 and all of series 4). Although each episode has a winning and losing team, questions and games exist mainly to provide starting points for improvised comedy routines rather than to function as a serious competition and specific scores are never referred to. It is common for rounds to be contested with only members from the same team participating and for Dara O'Briain to end rounds by declaring simply "points for everyone".  The Regulars, L-R Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis, Dara O'Briain, Andy Parsons and Russell Howard. And here's an example of some usual rounds on the show, first; Scenes we'd like to see: And the NHS revolving door of happiness (otherwise known as the stand up round): |

| a-dawg. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7070 | Peardrops:I think it was in series 3 (which was also when they slagged Dara for fancying Konnie Huq) they were talking about it, one of those eps. Basically, Dara was really pissed. And somehow, he ended up in Ed's house, where he called the police. Ed then woke up to find a female police officer standing over his bed. She asked him if this was his house, to which he said yes. She then took him through the house, before asking him again. He said yes. Eventually she took him to the hall, where Dara was sitting on the stairs in a tux, surrounded by policemen. |
