The long-running. satirical quiz recently came under fire from parts of the media for its episode devoted to the deoarting PM Boris Johnson. Jack Dee was joined by Janet Street-Porter and comedian Phil Wang who sat with team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. The teams looked back on some of his best and worst moments and some viewers  said the episode was biased and one-sided. 

There were also complaints that Jack Dee had described Johnson as a "cosmic cunt", although this was actually quoting what someone else had said about Johnson.

The episode airs on Fri 23rd September, 9pm, BBC One
