Sandi Toksvig hosts an arts quiz with a difference

Sandi Toksvig heads What The Dickens? on Sky Arts

What The Dickens? is Sky Arts' comedy quiz panel show. Comedy? Quiz show? On Sky Arts? Yes, you read that correctly!

We'll be testing and teasing our panels of famous faces on all matters cultural and arts-related to weed out the aficionados from the blaggers as two teams battle it out each week to prove they know their Marlowe from their Mills and Boon. If you fancy your chances as the culture vulture, give our WHAT THE DICKENS? QUIZ a try!

Who do you get to host a show like this? Why, the irrepressible Sandi Toksvig, of course. Sandi will present the programmes with the help of team captains Chris Addison and Sue Perkins. Test your wits and join us on Wednesday nights at 9pm from 27 May for What The Dickens? on Sky Arts.

The new series of What The Dickens? is filmed at the Hay Festival and the guests joining Sandi, Chris and Sue inlcude Frank Skinner, Alistair McGowan, Dave Gorman and John O'Farrell. If you're around and about the Hay Festival, make sure you don't miss out on the recording sessions!

Like the show; but if you wanted a picture of Thomas Pynchon theres loads of him on your local google!
Sue is amazing!

Like the show as well!  Think the Pynchon thing was a joke though.  Anyone know if there are more series planned?

Funny how you can’t even find it on Skyguide when it IS running! Shame, as it is such a good program! Would love to see this one return. Ah, but Chris Addison will have moved on now. Sold out? hmmmm.....
