Richard Osman's House Of Games Line Up This Week

Richard Osman House Of Games Line Up This Week

This week's of mind-bending quizzing features three comedians against one 'civilian' as Nabil Abdulrashid, Luke Kempner and Sarah Millican take on Philippa Perry

The casting for this show has been interesting recently, with former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt pitching up on the programme last week. But it's comedians who tend to dominate the line-ups. Maybe they like doing game shows, maybe they had a lot of time on their hands during the pandemic when gigs were hard to come by. Or maybe they are just cheap.

They are certainly smart, with a number of comedy performers winning the overall prize. In 2020 Angela Barnes became the first person to win all five epsiodes on her way to becoming that week's champion.

It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top this week out of the three comedy acts. Sarah Millican is the biggest star but has she got the best mind for the lateral thinking puzzles and word games on the show.

Luke Kempner is best known as an impressionist. On Spitting Image he does around 14 well-known names such as Jurgen Klopp, Piers MorganJoe Wicks and Ed Sheeran. He has recently announced a big tour. Macho Macho Man hits the road in early 2022. This follows his previous show, House of Faces, which sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and then toured nationwide throughout 2019.

Before receiving the much-coveted Golden Buzzer from Alesha Dixon and reaching the final of BGT, Nabil Abdulrashid  had already carved out a unique, exciting and varied career in UK and international comedy. He grew up under military rule in northern Nigeria  before ending up in south London and is an outspoken supporter of Black Lives Matter.

Richard Osman's House Of Games, Monday, November 1 - Friday, November 5, 6pm, BBC Two.
