DEPLORABLE DISAPPOINTMENT TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN SO WRONG IT’S RIGHT

So Wrong It’s Right celebrates the bitter taste of failure and turns massive mistakes into perverse triumphs.

Presented by the award winning and ever caustic Charlie Brooker, the show seeks the best wrong answers from a panel of guest comedians. It’s the comedy show where saying the wrong thing isn’t the wrong thing to say.

Each week, Charlie plunders his guests’ pasts, creativity and general knowledge. Guests must come up with the most erroneous answers, with Charlie awarding points to the most absurd response. Charlie decides which answer is so wrong, it's right.

Guest panellists include Lee Mack, Josie Long, Tom Basden, Victoria Coren, Rufus Hound, David Mitchell, Richard Herring, Holly Walsh, Inbetweeners writer Iain Morris, Liza Tarbuck and Jack Whitehall.

From the most tragic holiday recollections, the things they hate about the modern world, the worst experience on public transport, and the most horrible experiences at work- the panellists must do their best to out wrong each other.

So Wrong It’s Right is written and presented by Charlie Brooker, who is behind a raft of award winning and critically acclaimed television series. Most recently, Newswipe with Charlie Brooker (BBC Four, BBC Two) won an RTS programme award in the entertainment category, beating ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and ‘X Factor’. In 2009, Charlie was awarded a British Comedy Award for ‘Best Comedy Newcomer’ for Channel 4’s You Have Been Watching.

Other recent awards include a RTS Programme award in 2009 for Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe (BBC Four, BBC Two) and a BAFTA craft award for zombie horror Dead Set (E4, C4).

So Wrong It’s Right is produced by leading comedy creators Zeppotron. The Executive Producer for Zeppotron is Ben Caudell. Caroline Raphael, Commissioning Editor, Comedy & Entertainment, BBC Radio 4 commissioned the series.
