Episode description

Our guest today is TV royalty, and one of the cleverest person we've ever had on the show - it's Richard Osman! He is here to tell us all about how game shows work, including why 'Deal or No Deal' basically sums up human nature, why The Traitors is deeply flawed, and why he wishes he had created 'The Weakest Link'. We also ask him to help us create our own game show, which goes terribly, and he has a quizzing showdown with out very own Mastermind, Joe Marler.
