Mock the Week

Scheduling Insights - Seasonal Series

Mock the Week has maintained a steady Annual rhythm for 17 years, typically returning in June. Throughout its extensive tenure on BBC Two, the series functioned as a satirical anchor, frequently bifurcating its seasons into summer and autumn blocks to ensure topical relevance. Having produced over 200 episodes across 21 series, it established itself as a cornerstone of British broadcast comedy and a vital platform for emerging stand-up talent. The program’s consistent Thursday night slot made it a predictable and formidable component of the network's weekly programming architecture for nearly two decades.
