The most childish man on television
Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive is a British television show, first aired on BBC Three in July 2006. Devised by Paul Duddridge, it concerns the making of a comedy Panel Game show called Annually Retentive, themed around historical events, and hosted by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon. The show is deliberately parodic, as Brydon plays a hyper-realised (and nasty) version of himself, while the game show blatantly steals ideas from other, similar shows such as Have I Got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week and QI.Annually Retentive contains examples of:
- Hopeless Suitor: Rob for the Guest Booker.
- Straight Gay: Ben in Series 2.
- Stupid Sexy Flanders: Deb claims that Rob has this for Ben.
- 2-for-1 Show: Half comedy about the production of a panel show, half actual panel show.
