Mark Nelson leads a panel of Scotland's funniest comedians and personalities attempting to decipher the good from the bad, with a few unexpected twists along the way.

Showbiz reporter turned Homes Under the Hammer presenter, Martell Maxwell, tells some outrageous stories from her career, and Mrs Brown's Boys star, Fiona O'Carroll, parties with the Hollywood A List. Our very own A lister, Ritchie Neville, looks back over his pop career in the band Five, and gets competitive in the unexpected rounds.

Joining Mark is one of the country's best fiction writers of all time, Ian Rankin, who shares his stories of a festive miracle and a nightmare on the A1. Alongside him is Deacon Blue drummer and TV presenter, Dougie Vipond, who pays the price for living the highlife with the megastars, as well as meeting his teenage crush. Completing the line-up on this cracking show is 'the luckiest person in Scotland', comedian Viv Gee, who wins big on one hand, but loses the job on the other.

Mark Nelson leads a panel of Scotland's funniest comedians and personalities attempting to decipher the good from the bad, with a few unexpected twists along the way.

This week John Lloyd, the creator of Spitting Image, QI, Blackadder and so much more, returns to the show with casual stories of the rich and famous and the time he nearly became a police officer. Geordie comedian Sammy Dobson joins in on joining the police, aged four, and tells a fantastic story about a gardening conversation with someone she wasn't expecting.

Completing the line-up is Scotland's best beat-boxer, Bigg Taj. Not only is he full of stories of his success and most cringeworthy gigs, he teaches Mark and the other guests how to beat-box. Unmissable.
