Rob Brydon and team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell are joined by guests Shirley Ballas, Steven Bartlett, Josie Gibson and Chris McCausland. They all reveal extraordinary stories about themselves, but are they telling the truth or making it all up?

That moment (1:56) when his eyes narrow as he visibly holds back a few choice words- so wonderfully David Mitchell.

[SideshowCris]

That’s the truest thing he’s ever said on this show and the least he’s cared about pretending otherwise

[TheOneWhoMightBe]

From the moment David finished reading the card you already knew it was true.

[RenopaintingAu]

“You know what? After listening to David I don’t want to speak to anyone ever again” 😂

[arche]

As someone who has watched a compilation of David being angry probably 100+ times, I couldn't have known it was true faster

[Cosmic_idea]

"If it is free, you are not the customer you are the product". Damn that's good, I have to remember that one

[Dimonite]

Lee has 100% heard this rant in private before.

[redeyestones]

David is speaking absolute facts, and everyone looking at him like he's crazy.

[jadhamizan]

I'm not against WhatsApp in general, but it's the groups that I find intolerable for all the reasons that David has outlined so passionately & correctly here.

[bamleith]

david some times forgets he's supposed to be lying

[hardy_har]

wow she genuinely had an epiphany about living in a surveillance state in real time on television. Brilliant.

[lamlatynol.]

David is absolutely right here. You can leave the phone for a couple of minutes and there are already 100+ messages that are almost always completely pointless. There _may_ be one important detail that you need to know, however, forcing you to go through a barrage of memes and inane comments.
I don't use WhatsApp either. I hate it.

"If it's free then you're not the customer, you're the product"

[Telstara]

I love that. "If it's free, you're not the customer, you're the product."

[toastbubbles]

David has a good point. Whatsapp is owned by Facebook and Facebook's users are in fact the product, with the advertisers being the customers.

[Prosey]

There's the David I love. Haven't seen a good angry rant from him in a while.

[kypdur]

My respect for David Mitchell has reached a new level.

[felipemaldonado]

Hi face at 1:58 (after saying: " you can't ring down to reception, YOU HAVE GOT TO WHATSAPP THEM!), it's priceless

[Blake_Stone]

At 1:55 David suddenly realised that his hatred for WhatsApp was teetering on the slender line between "hilarious rant on panel show" and "actual murderous rampage" and thought he'd better stop or they'd come back after the ad break with him pounding the bloody ruin of Lee Mack's face into a studio wall screaming "WHATSAAAAPPPP!!!!" while the terrified audience screamed and ran for the exits.

We need to build a new society based on the rantings of David Mitchell. Everyone just stays home and reads, goes out briefly to buy food, nod at others as you pass by, and go home.
