This week's House of Games line-up features Ivo Graham, Ugo Monye, Clare Balding and Su Pollard testing their knowledge in one of the funnest shows on television at the moment.

It's looking to be a good period for Ivo Graham. The unashamedly posh old Etonian stand-up has also been revealed as one of the contestants on the current series of Celebrity University Challenge and is going to be in the next series of Taskmaster. No transmission date as yet but we are eagerly anticipating it.

Su Pollard was recently in the news paying tribute to her fellow Hi De Hi co-star Ruth Madoc who suddenly died aged 79. They also appeared together on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. Pollard is often mistaken for comedian Jenny Eclair and Eclair is also sometimes mistaken for Pollard.

Sports presenter Clare Balding makes this one of the poshest editions of Richard Osman's House of Games. She has recently been honoured with a CBE. She was given the award by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace last week for her services to sport and charity. Former Strictly star Ugo Monye flies the flag for rugby players on the show.

Monye has two daughters. Speaking of the period when his wife was pregnant with his first child Phoenix, Ugo told the BBC about feeling like an 'active bystander'. “You can't do anything. You've got a lot of professionals around who are amazing. And you're reliant upon your wife to just do as much as she can, and for her body to react and respond, and you're just kind of there holding hands and giving positive messaging," he remembers.

Richard Osman's House of Games, Monday, December 19 - Friday, December 23, check for times, BBC Two – and repeated in the week starting December 11, 2023.
