EndedVariety show

You Cannot Be Serious! is a peak-time topical entertainment show that will mix clips, sketches and impressions.

Skewering all the funniest, quirkiest, and silliest clips from the week's televised sport, the show will also see legendary sports fanatic Alistair McGowan write new sketches and work on brand new impressions for TV for the first time in eight years.

As the show will be totally topical there's no knowing exactly what will feature, but viewers can expect a hilarious take on the week's biggest, best and most talked about sporting events. With Euro 2012 Football, Wimbledon and Test Cricket, not to mention the frenzied build-up to the London Olympics, there's sure to be plenty of mishaps, bizarre news and sports stars like Robbie Savage, Gareth Southgate and Roy Hodgson for Alistair to impersonate, as well as deliver a trademark light ribbing to.

Not just a show for the hardened sports fanatic however: expect Alistair to impersonate a host of other showbiz favourites like Louie Spence, Peter Andre and Jessie J who will all shoulder their way into the You Cannot Be Serious! world to add their particular spin in some surprising sports situations.
