Would I Lie To You? named comedy of the year

Honestly...

Would I Lie To You? has been named the best comedy show of 2013 by the British Comedy Guide.

Readers of the website voted the Rob Brydon-hosted programme the best panel show of the year, as well as the overall top title.

Editors said: ‘This is the first time a non-scripted show has claimed the title, and much of that credit must go to the brilliant banter between [team captains] David Mitchell and Lee Mack.’

The eighth series records in the spring.

Elsewhere, James Corden and Mathew Baynton’s comic-thriller The Wrong Mans was named best new sitcom - though it is far from the genre’s familiar fixed-set format. The IT Crowd was named best returning sitcom and Susan Calman took a title for her Radio 4 show.

The site also names the worst programmes of the year, with Ben Elton's The Wright Way, Lee Nelson's Well Funny People and Mrs Brown's Boys taking the dubious honours.
