A League of Their Own is a British television comedy panel game created by Paul Brassey which was hosted by actor and comedian James Corden for the first 13 series. [1] [2] Due to his commitments hosting The Late Late Show, Corden hosted only two episodes of series 14 with the remainder hosted by guests. [3] Travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic prevented Corden returning for series 15 as expected, the series was predominately hosted by regular panellist Romesh Ranganathan, with team captains Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp hosting one episode each. [4] Ranganathan was confirmed as the new permanent host, starting from series 16. [5] It premiered on Sky One on 11 March 2010 and remained on the channel until September 2021 when Sky One was closed and replaced with Sky Max where the show is now broadcast. [6]
A regular episode of A League of Their Own sees two teams of three – Blue and Red – competing in a quiz about notable sports along with physical challenges; at the show's debut the captains of each team were retired England cricketer Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff (Blue) and former Liverpool captain and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp (Red). For the first four series both teams had a regular panellist alongside the captain, journalist and presenter Georgie Thompson (Blue) and comedian John Bishop (Red). From series 5 until series 12, the Blue team had a regular panellist with comedian Jack Whitehall joining Flintoff. From series 13 to series 15, comedian Romesh Ranganathan was a regular panellist for the Red team alongside Redknapp, albeit with Ranganathan hosting most episodes in series 15. With Ranganathan's promotion to host from series 16, neither team had a regular panellist. Flintoff left the show following the Dingle to Dover road trip and has since been replaced by a guest captain each episode, retired footballer Micah Richards joined the Blue team as a regular panellist. Special episodes have also been produced where there is no quiz instead they feature compilations of clips either from recordings that have been broadcast in a series (labelled "The Best Bits from..."), material that was not broadcast (labelled "The Unseen Bits from...") or even from a particular challenge from an individual episode (labelled "The Best of...").
The first series consisted of twelve episodes. The second series consisted of thirteen episodes including a Christmas special. The third series had twelve episodes and saw the first occasion of a regular team captain being unable to attend an individual recording and being replaced by a guest, it also saw the introduction of splitting both "The Best Bits" and "The Unseen Bits" over two episodes therefore having four episodes of compilation clips; this technique was used on and off for future series. The fourth series consisted of ten episodes including an End of Year special. For the fifth series there were eleven episodes. The sixth series had ten episodes. The seventh series had twelve episodes including a compilation episode entitled "Rally Special" focussing solely on the rally car challenge from the series opener. The eighth series consisted of thirteen episodes. The ninth series had twelve episodes. The tenth series had ten episodes. As of 24 March 2023, 138 regular episodes and 54 compilations or specials have been broadcast across sixteen series, 192 episodes have been aired in total. There has also been seven Road Trip spin off series, two in the US, two in Europe, one in the UK, one in the UK & Ireland and one in Southeast Asia. There have been 27 regular episodes and 14 compilations for a total of 41 Road Trip episodes.

Have I Got News for You (HIGNFY) is a British television panel show, produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC, which premiered on 28 September 1990. The programme focuses on two teams, one always captained by Ian Hislop and one by Paul Merton, each plus a guest panelist, answering questions on various news stories on the week prior to an episode's broadcast. However, the programme's format focuses more on the topical discussions on the subject of the news stories related to questions, and the satirical humour derived from these by the teams. This style of presentation had a profound impact on panel shows in British TV comedy, making it one of the genre's key standard-bearers.
