View Full Version : Frankie Boyle leaves 'Mock The Week'
Frankie Boyle has left Mock The Week to concentrate on other TV commitments, while the show has been signed up for two new series by BBC Two.
Dara O'Briain will return as host of the satirical news quiz, with its panel members drawn from the world of comedy.
Angst Productions series producer Dan Patterson said: "Frankie has been a brilliant member of the team since the beginning and the door is always open for him to come back. We wish him all the best with his other projects."
BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow said: "Mock The Week is a major part of the BBC Two schedule, regularly delivering wit and energy to an enthusiastic audience.
"This two series commitment shows just how much we value it."

I love it! Frankies funny, but hes not irreplacible, my dad hates him.
fantastic news, i can't stand him, he ruins the show! especially at the end, he steals the mic so much, and stops everyone from having a turn. he's not even funny, i hate sarcastic humour

Aww thats a shame I really liked him on Mock the Week. :(
He isn't as good as he thinks he is.
Frankie Boyle will be sorely missed. I enjoyed his sef depracating humour and his near the knuckle one liners especially his digs about Jordan, Kerry Katona and Heather McCartney.
I saw him live once and he was fantastic

He's doing another tour. :D
I know one of the guys who writes for him. His humour isn't all his own, although that is true for almost all of the comics you see on T.V.
Some of them are just actors with good comic timing.

The summer of 2012 will forever be remembered for a feel good festival of physical perfection that, for a few short weeks, popped up all over the BBC schedules; it might have taken place in London but throughout the country millions embraced milestones being reached, heroes being created and even an emotional victory for Andy Murray. Yes, series 11 of Mock The Week really was special.
In a bid to recreate that magical time, BBC Two are delighted to announce that from 10pm on Thursday 6 September, the hit topical show is returning for its all new Autumn run.
Producers have set the team an ambitious target of six episodes and a Christmas Special, but Dara O Briain and regulars Chris Addison, Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons are confident they can overcome nagging fitness doubts to deliver in the usual spectacular style.
As ever, legendary comedic talent from the four corners of the world - England, Ireland and Canada - will converge on Television Centre to compete in a variety of hilarious games that promise to strike satirical targets more often than a recorded delivery for 'a Mr Assange' turns up at the Ecuadorean embassy.
A show outsider said: “The infrastructure is in place: we’ve got the right national flags, we’ve refused George Michael’s request to replace the theme tune with his new single’s B side - and the likes of Micky Flanagan, Greg Davies, Milton Jones, Ed Byrne, Stewart Francis and Andi Osho are all due to appear alongside the established awesome foursome.”
Mock The Week was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the creative force behind the iconic improvisation based show Whose Line Is It Anyway? which ran for 10 years on British TV before successfully transferring to the United States. Pinki Chambers is the executive dditor for the BBC. It is produced for the BBC by independent production company Angst Productions.
