Well going. Probably had run it's course really anyway!
The long-running current affairs comedy panel show Mock the Week is to end on BBC Two after 17 years, the corporation has announced.
The upcoming eight episodes of the popular programme, airing in the autumn, will be the last, marking its end after 21 series and more than 200 episodes of the show, hosted by Irish comedian Dara Ó Briain.

He touched on the bias allegations and makes a decent point that "ring-wing comics" don't exist because they are not funny.
