Dave runs a panel-show conveyor belt, and Would I Lie To You? is the best of it

Dave’s evening is built from quiz and panel shows from 7pm to past midnight, and the best of them is saved for late. Would I Lie To You? arrives at 10.20pm for 40 minutes, and it is the one to stay up for.

The show has 13 series and 110 episodes to its name, with Lee Mack at the head of it, and it airs on Dave every day in the current window. That kind of repetition is the point of the channel: the format is sturdy enough to bear it. At 10.20 it faces BBC London, Newsnight and ITV News, so anyone wanting something lighter at that hour has it to themselves.

The evening opens with QI XL at 7pm, the extended cut of the quiz, and Dave shows it twice today. It returns with plain QI at 8.40, which means the channel has put the same format either side of the hour. Whether that is generous or lazy depends on how much you like the format. Between them sits Jack Dee’s Help Me Tiny Big Brain at 8pm, a 40-minute slot that breaks up the QI run. It goes up against Panorama and Grand Designs, and it is the one I would sample.

Have I Got A Bit More News For You? follows at 9.20 for an hour, and the main Have I Got News for You turns up at 2am for the night owls. If you want the topical fix, the late-night 11.55 slot goes to Mock the Week, with 8 Out of 10 Cats ahead of it at 11.

Daytime is cookery and travel. Rick Stein’s Mediterranean Escapes runs three times and the Hairy Bikers twice, so the day is easy to skip.

Verdict: Would I Lie To You? at 10.20 is the high point. QI is a fine opener and nothing more.
