Great! - By: G. Wallace, 26 Dec 2008 
I got this book for my brother for christmas & him & my dad are having hours of laughs. The finish of the book is fantastic & it is great how the different pages are set out to do with the topic being talked about. It is so funny, & very imaginative!
Good, but not great. - By: Carl Elliott, 14 Oct 2008 
As a huge fan of Mock the Week, I was looking forward to seeing what this book had to offer, & to be fair it's not bad. There's a few funny lines, but it's a million miles away from the dry wit that features on the TV show.
It's obvious that the likes of Russell Howard, Dara O'brien, Hugh Dennis & the legendary Frankie Boyle were nowhere near the room where this was written.
Allin all, its an OK read with a few funny bits, but it gets a bit repeatitive & it lacks the creativity & whit that you'd expect from MTW.
Scenes we'd like to see - By: L. Hopkins, 10 Oct 2008 
This book is like one big Scenes we would like to see. But it is still very funny!! Would rate to all Mock The Week fans!
Very funny & good to delve into - By: Chris Wood, 10 Oct 2008 Most of this book is pretty funny, butin places it starts just looking like lists based on a few ideas. There's a lot of good material, though. Recommended.
Excellent - but requires a bit of imagination - By: Paul Everdark, 04 Sep 2008 As a fan of the panel show, I was initially disappointed when I picked up this book: it's written by none of the show's regulars (Frankie, Hugh, Andy, Russell et al), & I feared that the book wouldn't be as funny as I hoped it would be.
I needn't have worried. This book is achingly funny & a great gift. BUT! And here's the key thing: it does require a bit of imagination, I think. As the book is basically one big 'Scenes We'd Like To See' gag reelin book form, you need to picture the Mock The Week gang gathered around the press pit, saying the quotes you readin the book. When you do, it's hilarious.
Of course, by that same token, this book may go over the heads of those who've never seen Mock The Week (but then again, why ever not?!).
If you love the show & can mentally picture you favourite comediansin the 'Press Pit', you'll be right at home with this treat.
