@jaqarts.bsky.social posted on blue sky: "I think there should be a Public Service Announcement whenever there's a new episode of Would I Lie to You? with Bob Mortimer as a guest - which there is tonight, so take this as your PSA."

Martin Corner posted:"The fact that 70% of people say that Bob Mortimer is NOT a national treasure tells you everything you need to know about the stupidity of the general public. No wonder we got Brexit and Farage is leading in the polls"

Ben from Crudely Drawn Swords wrote: "It's so great to see Bob Mortimer still doing well - such a big part of the weird-to-the-point-its-crazy-it-was-on-primetime-TV nineties surrealist comedy scene and always extremely funny."

Would I Lie to You? Friday, January 9, 7.30pm BBC One and weekly and also on iPlayer.
