📺 What’s Happening Mock the Week — the long-running British satirical panel show that was cancelled by the BBC in 2022 after 17 years — is officially returning to television in 2026. The show will be part of a revamped, free-to-air version of TLC in the UK, which has relaunched with a broader entertainment focus. The new channel line-up includes sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory alongside reality favorites and the Mock the Week revival. 📆 When It Starts Mock the Week is set to return Sunday, 1 February 2026 at 9 pm on TLC. 🎙️ Who’s Involved Dara Ó Briain will return as host, continuing his longstanding role from the show’s original run. The series will feature a rotating panel of top comedians, including Rhys James, Sara Pascoe, Angela Barnes, Ed Byrne, Ahir Shah, Milton Jones, Katherine Ryan, Hugh Dennis, Sarah Keyworth, Lou Sanders, Glenn Moore, Ellie Taylor and Russell Howard. 🆕 What’s New in the Format Unlike its BBC run, episodes in the TLC revival will be one hour long (up from the original ~30 minutes). The show will keep classic rounds fans love — such as If This Is the Answer, What Is the Question?, Wheel of News, Picture of the Week and Scenes We’d Like to See — while also introducing fresh rounds tailored to the expanded runtime. 📺 Why It Matters This marks a major return for one of the UK’s most beloved comedy panel shows after a multi-year hiatus — and with a new broadcast home on TLC that’s broadening its identity as a free-to-air entertainment channel. Fans are already buzzing at the prospect of familiar satire and sharp comedic takes on the week’s news heading back to screens in early 2026.
