Michael Sheen puts the questions to a strong comedy contingent for this week's run of House of Games. Maisie Adam and comedy legend Ade Edmondson are taking on Rickie Haywood-Williams and Sammi Kinghorn.
Ade Edmondson is most famous for his long time partnership with the late Rik Mayall. They met at Manchester University and made their names on shows including The Young Ones, Filthy, Rich and Catflap, Bottom and a series of unforgettable Comic Strip films. In recent years Edmondson has played a number of straight roles, even appearing in Star Wars and EastEnders.
And most recently he has teamed up with actor Samuel West for Sam & Ade Go Birding on Five in which they go on a spectacular birdwatching quest across the British Isles. For Adrian, the hobby is something new: he’s bird-curious. Despite living in the countryside for more than twenty years, Ade’s frustrated not to know more about the birds around him and now wants to learn with his enthusiastic friend - if they can stop for lunch, stay in a nice cottage and have the odd pint along the way.
Maise Adam is a regular face on TV panel shows and appeared in the last series of Last One Laughing. She is currently on tour with her latest stand-up show, Whatsherface – the name of the show comes from a report in the Guardian in which someone recognised her but couldn't think of her name. Hopefully by now everybody knows her name. If you want to catch her live onstage on tour where she is at her best ticket details are here.
She has also starred on: C4’s The Last Leg and The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year, multiple times on BBC’s Have I Got News For You and Sky’s A League Of Their Own. She is also a regular participant in ITV’s Soccer Aid for UNICEF and her TV special Appraisal i
The ‘tall, chaotic one with the weird hair’ is also a previous winner of Taskmaster so should have a sharp brain suyited for House of Games.
House of Games, Monday, November 2 - Friday, November 6, BBC Two, 6pm.
