The original BBC Two series was axed in 2015 after almost two decades on television.

Previous hosts included Rhod Gilbert, Simon Amstell and Mark Lamarr.

Team captains on the programme included Phil Jupitus, Sean Hughes and Fielding.

The new series will air in the autumn and will be produced by Talkback, the company behind the previous series of the programme.
