This is the second round of my British Comedy quiz focusing on Panel Shows. British comedy has a multitude of panel shows to choose from, but for simplicity I kept it relatively simple and stuck to the most popular ones. (Or at least the most popular ones from the clientele of the pub) See how well you do. Just like last time, hover over the blanked out bits for the answers.
Question 1: QI was originally hosted by Stephen Fry, before being replaced by Sandi Toksvig in 2016, but what does QI stand forQuite Interesting
Question 2: Which Panel Show first broadcast in 2005 has a name taken from a well known advertising tagline?

Sorry, again no sources for this round. But I’m sure Google can help you out!
