BBC Two has cancelled Mock the Week after 17 years of the comedy panel show, with host Dara Ó Briain commenting that “it couldn’t go on” any longer.
Confirming the news to The Mirror, Ó Briain – who has presented the show since it first aired in 2005 – said: “That’s it folks, the UK has finally run out of news.
“The storylines were getting crazier and crazier; global pandemics, divorce from Europe, novelty short-term Prime Ministers. It couldn’t go on. We just couldn’t be more silly than the news was already.”
