Mock the Week S21 E5 (21 Oct 22). The End.

Dara O Briain and Hugh Dennis look back at the week’s news for the very last time in the company of Angela Barnes, Alasdair Beckett-King, Rhys James, Zoe Lyons and Ahir Shah.

"Ironic that even though we've been canceled, we might still last longer than Liz Truss"😂 I've watched this show forever and so sad that it's no longer around to make sense of the current political BS. Kudos to Dara, Hugh and crew for showing the world as it truly is.

[@Farweasel]

But that opening clip worked at *several levels* . Not only did the show last longer after that photo than 'the lettuce' It featured Jeremy Hunt. Ironic as *'Jeremy Hunts' is cockney rhyming slang for the 💩s at the BBC who cancelled the show* (Although *Reece was right on the money too* with 'If its older than 17 years'.......... )

[@hellsbunniestv584]

It was ironic and true. The show was recorded on the Tuesday, aired on the Thursday but Truss was out on the Wednesday so right at the end, they managed to outlive her.

I don't see how it could get boring, there's a bunch of comparably ancient panel shows on BBC radio, even 'have I got news for you.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

Hugh’s remarks about Liz Truss were prophetic…

Spot the BBC exec

To be fair, the writing had been on the wall for a while.

[@mmgringoire2]

I am so sad to see this show end. I'm American and I discovered many of my favorite comedians from this show. Thank you for making the news hilarious, especially when it seemed impossible to find the humor.

[@_-4232]

Rhys James did the show justice as it came to an end. I think this must be one of the most difficult and skill demanding shows to perform on, the talent we’ve seen has been outstanding.

[@aaronpeart]

What a show. Don't know what comedy boot camp Rhys has been to but he's leveled up so much this last short season. RIP MTW

[@Kitsaplorax]

I expected Brian Cox to host. Thanks for explaining British politics and culture to a generation of Americans and giving us laughs.

[@esmeecampbell7396]

I thought they might get Frankie back. Or Rhys would come in at the end for things you wouldn't hear on Mock the Week and say "Hello Frankie" lol

[@iangriffiths9840]

Thank you for 17 years of topical fun. Hope you return soon with another format.

[@Gill-Leeds]

Tragic, sad to see this show come to an end. Thank you Dara & everyone for making us laugh & keeping us sane

[@bbrauer5]

Miss this show already - hope the videos never disappear from KZbin - Thanks for all the laughs !!

[@glambox92]

Been watching this show since the very beginning 🤍 nice to see Zoe back for this final episode!

[@darthseverus89]

If only ed Byrne were there at all

[@Tht1Gy]

I was hoping Andy Parsons would be on this final show... 😉

[@andrew66862]

And Frankie

[@godozo]

Was hoping for Maisie myself, but Zoe will do.

[@glambox92]

[@dancingclo]

Dara You are one of my favourite Irish comedians, and there's so many great ones to chose from. Your brand of humour has always been so much more high brow because you didnt need to belittle anyone. Always respected women and are a very goofy scientist at heart. Growing up in Ireland watching you on Tele made life very sweet and when I saw your comedy career skyrocket I was delighted. You deserve it all. THIS should have gone on. And maybe, the petitions will work :) Good luck and an infinite universe of thanks x You kept us sane!

[@Pineappleparty]

As an American, i love watching this show, it's introduced me to many great people.

[@kmjeffels]

Another iconic program down the tubes ! Thank you Dara for a fantastic series from a Canadian fan!!

Unfortunately Things Have To End

[@JJJackson777]

​@@chrismassey6991 this was forced to end though, it wasn't given the chance to decide

[@thequokkahaslanded321]

What a rocky raucous wonderful ride!! Thanks Dara Hugh and everyone for every single week of laughter!!

[@riverstroker4913]

Thank you, Ovid, for the MtW uploads. @BBC, bring back Mock the Week!

[@xolanigcasamba8828]

Its been a fantastic ride. Thank you for the utterly uncountable laughs. I discovered the show 9 years ago & since then it been an absolute joy. I'm your biggest South African fan

[@bish595]

I remember finding this show during high school and loving it, I’ve been such a big fan since then and I’m happy that this series went out with a really strong bang. I’m going to miss this show more than any other. Much love to the Mock of The Week crew ❤️

[@JV-the-Tossh]

Well, at least they went out with a banger. Zoe Lyons looking very dapper and bringing some good commentary, Alisdair being delightfully surreal, Ahir with some biting comments, Rhys and his sarcasm, Angela with some banging one-liners, and of course Hugh and Dara bringing their all at the end. I especially liked the KKK joke.

[@DrZaius3141]

A good joke with the sad truth about it that making fun of racists is the one thing that will still get you cancelled, no matter what all the wankers, whining about "cancel culture" pretend.

[@retnavybrat]

I loved Dara's response to that KKK joke, totally forgetting in that moment that there was an Asian guy there. 😁

[@RickReasonnz]

One promising thing about these last few shows is that Rhys is definitely a young comic to look forward to. Sharp fella!

[@mortenbork6249]

The show couldnt replace Frankie Boyle. He always made me laugh the hardest. But Ed Byrne did well too when he and Dara went at it. A fan from Denmark is sad we won't have more adventures. But I was very happy with the ones we got. I hope you all do well.

[@raould2590]

Incredibly sad at the end of this! Truly a massive loss! Good luck to Dara and the entire team!! Here's wishing it comes back in some form!!!!

[@maryfenton958]

The new broom sweeps clean! ..... would that they couldn't sweep the Tory bias clean!

[@jimbobur]

I've grown up with MTW, it's always fell like a permanent staple of British comedy and it never really occurred to me that one day it would end 😔

[@symbally]

*salute* an epic show of 17 years, ending with a cheer. thank you to the cast / support staff over 17 years creating an amazing and relevant show

[@greenmeat1270]

Thanks Ovid for putting these up for the last few years

[@vangroover1903]

Praise 2 Ovid. He is our own Megabus Penis Sausage!

[@brettstingel5736]

Thank you dara, hugh, the featured comedians,all the production, camera ppl, etc for all your efforts and time. Its always been a very funny, and entertaining show. 👍👍
