Our take
The format is simple: comedians get a minute, then the panel tears into them. Strong swearing, sexual jokes and ableist put-downs are part of the act from the start. We would save it for 16 and up, when a teen can recognise the cruelty behind the joke.
Story (may spoil tone)
A bucket, a mic and one minute to win over Tony Hinchcliffe and a panel of famous guests. This is stand-up at its most unforgiving — and unpredictable.

Talk after watching
- Roast comedy treats humiliation as entertainment. When does a joke stop being shared fun and start being cruelty for the crowd?
- Panels pile on identities and differences for laughs. How would you want a friend defended if they were the one on the mic?
