And that as they say is that. 234 episodes. 21 series. 17 years. Thanks to all of the 132 brilliant comedians who have taken part and to all of you who have watched and supported since 2005. Hope to see you again somewhere, sometime. 👏
Very sad to hear of the passing of Jeremy Hardy today. Jeremy starred in our 2004 pilot as well as the very first episode in 2005. He will be much missed by everyone who worked with him. RIP Jeremy from everyone at Mock the Week

our regular studio warm up who heroically stepped in to this week's show line up at extremely short notice when Angela Barnes felt unwell. See how he did at 10pm on

Does anyone remember Mock the Week? Well, the returning National Comedy Awards do. We've been long-listed for Best Panel Show. We've never won any awards, so why not for us to get a posthumous one?
If you enjoyed the History of Mock the Week part one last week, don't forget to make time for part two this Friday as we look back on the last ten years
As per parliamentary tradition, the calling of a general election necessitates the ceremonial restoration of Mock the Week to BBC2. Our conditions have been met and we have agreed a date of Friday November 1st at 10pm.
Sad to hear that three time Mock the Week panellist
@andy_murray
has had to give up his hobby. All the best for the future from everyone on the show. We'll be in touch about series 18 soon..

We are delighted to announce we have been shortlisted in the Panel Show category at the National Comedy Awards. Why not vote for us now and give the show the memorial it deserves?
18 days to go until the start of series 18. Here is a photo of the line up from where it all began: series 1 episode 1 back in 2005

Well, our 48 hour drone advertising campaign seems to have made zero impact, so I'll go old school and post here to remind you that the Mock the Week Christmas special airs tonight 10pm

Merry Christmas one and all
