Not sure if this new 'play at home via Twitter' show, hosted by David Mitchell, is the first interactive panel game, but even if it is it is still hard to tell it apart from all the other panel games on the box at the moment. Apart from Charlie Higson (so much for the spat with this genre in general and David Mitchell in particular) the panel – Flanagan, Ayoade, Jimmy Carr (looking as if he's come straight from another panel game recording and hasn't had a chance to shave) are very "usual suspects".

The jazzy titles are a bit Mock The Week, the backdrop rather Have I Got News For You? and the desks look like they've been borrowed between editions of Big Fat Quiz. And, of course, like other panel shows they will get some stick for the lack of women. David Harewood, slightly bizarrely, sits on a stool to read out the quotes that the others have to identify - if he's their version of George Dawes it's a bit too subtle for me.

But now the good news. The basic "spot the quote" premise leaves plenty of scope for non-cynical free-flowing comedy from the talented line-up - the "I don't suck my wife's head" innuendo, or Mitchell having a topical poke at the Daily Mail, for instance - and these people are very good at this sort of thing, either off-the-cuff or making it look off-the-cuff. But then they should be, they have plenty of practice.

Not in the Would I Lie To You? league in terms of gleeful banter, but not many of these pretenders to the panel show throne are. Certainly not in the first episode, when they are still finding their feet, bedding in, trying to find their own distinctive identity (the latter being extra hard with so many familiar faces). Oh, and the programme did seem to be very quick, over before I'd fully grasped the Twitter element. Presumably just about leaving Jimmy Carr time to shave before his next recording.

#WISIS is on Sundays at 10.10pm on C4.
