''Mock the Week'' is a British topical celebrity panel game hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The game is influenced by improvised topical stand-up comedy, with several rounds requiring players to deliver answers on unexpected subjects on the spur of the moment. It is made by independent production company Angst Productions and made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005. It was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Company )〕 The show's theme music is "News of the World" by The Jam. Old episodes currently air on Dave, a fact that is frequently mentioned on the show. Episodes regularly attract 3.5 million viewers. ==Panel== ImageSize = width:750 height:350 PlotArea = left:110 bottom:120 top:0 right:30 Alignbars = justify DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/01/2005 till:31/12/2015 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:yyyy Colors = id:lines value:black legend:Season debut id:host value:lightorange legend:Host id:left value:coral legend:Left team id:right value:drabgreen legend:Right team Legend = orientation:vertical position:bottom columns:3 ScaleMajor = increment:1 start:2005 LineData = at:05/06/2005 color:black layer:back at:20/01/2006 color:black layer:back at:14/09/2006 color:black layer:back at:11/01/2007 color:black layer:back at:12/07/2007 color:black layer:back at:10/07/2008 color:black layer:back at:09/07/2009 color:black layer:back at:21/01/2010 color:black layer:back at:17/06/2010 color:black layer:back at:09/06/2011 color:black layer:back at:14/06/2012 color:black layer:back at:13/06/2013 color:black layer:back at:12/06/2014 color:black layer:back at:11/06/2015 color:black layer:back BarData = bar:OBriain text:"Dara Ó Briain" bar:Dennis text:"Hugh Dennis" bar:Bremner text:"Rory Bremner" bar:Boyle text:"Frankie Boyle" bar:Parsons text:"Andy Parsons" bar:Howard text:"Russell Howard" bar:Addison text:"Chris Addison" PlotData= width:23 textcolor:black align:left anchor:from shift:(10,-2) bar:OBriain from:05/06/2005 till:end color:host bar:Dennis from:05/06/2005 till:end color:left bar:Boyle from:05/06/2005 till:22/12/2009 color:left bar:Addison from:08/09/2011 till:18/07/2013 color:left bar:Bremner from:05/06/2005 till:02/03/2006 color:right bar:Parsons from:14/09/2006 till:19/10/2015 color:right bar:Howard from:11/01/2007 till:09/09/2010 color:right The show is hosted by Dara Ó Briain and on the panel are two teams of three. The current panel consists of Hugh Dennis and two guest panelists seated on Ó Briain's right, and Andy Parsons and two guest panelists on his left. For the first seven series, Dennis was joined by Frankie Boyle, and from the second half of series 10 through the first half of series 12 he was joined by Chris Addison. The other team originally included Rory Bremner for the first two series; Parsons was made a permanent panelist after Bremner left, and was joined by Russell Howard the following series onward. Hugh Dennis remains the only team member to appear in every episode (except the special episode that was part of David Walliams' 24 Hour Panel People).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Show )〕 Howard was absent for some of series 9 as he was concentrating on other projects. On 2 October 2009, the BBC announced that Frankie Boyle would not be returning to the show "due to other television commitments", having been absent for the final recording of series 7. After missing the latter portion of series 9 and first half of series 10, Russell Howard also officially left the show. Chris Addison then joined as a regular, taking the seat previously occupied by Boyle on Hugh's team. Following the end of series 12, it was announced that Addison would not be returning for series 13, due to his involvement in a project being filmed in the United States. No formal statement was issued regarding his possible involvement in the next series. To viewers' left of Dennis's team is the ''Press Pit'', which is a large desk where they sometimes play a round called ''Between the Lines''. Next to this is the much wider ''Performance Area'' which has a large TV screen, normally used for stand-up and improvisation challenges such as ''Dating Videos'' and ''Scenes We'd Like To See''. Although Hugh Dennis is in effect a team captain (and is sometimes referred to as such in publicity material), such a distinction is never made on the programme itself. For the first two series Rory Bremner was considered to be the other team captain; however he left the show after series 2 and was replaced by a different guest panelist each week (although Andy Parsons was made a permanent panellist). In effect, Dennis's opposition do not have a team captain. Although each episode has a winning and losing team, the entire show exists mainly to provide starting points for improvised comedy routines rather than to function as a serious competition. Specific scores are never referred to, and it has been stated by Dara comically that the scoring system is in fact "a load of bollocks". Indeed, after each round, the number of points awarded to a team is never stated; instead Dara just gives "the points" to the team he judges should receive them. In episode 11 of season 6, Dara admitted that winners of each round and point allocation was not based on anything specific, and viewers should "stop e-mailing in." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mock the Week」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
