First clips from Ed Gamble panel show Unacceptable

Romesh wants more money for the Royals and Joanne McNally argues women aren't funny

Here are some first-look clips of Unacceptable, the new Ed Gamble-fronted panel show in which teams of comedians compete to win a live studio audience over to their most outrageous opinions.

Richard Ayoade and Joanne McNally as team captains in the show, which – it has just been announced – will air on TLC from July 5. 

Guest comedians over the series include  Maisie Adam, Guz Khan, Joel Dommett, Katherine Ryan, Tom Davis, Roisin Conaty, and Sophie Willan.


Here Romesh Ranganathan – who is also executive producer on the series –  argues that we should pay the Royal Family more. 


And in this clip, McNally is forced to argue that women aren't funny, in a round in which contestants have to stitch up the opposing team.
