Dara Ó Briain told viewers Mock The Week had been “an absolute joy and an honour”, as he brought an emotional close to the final regular episode of the long-running topical comedy panel show.
The comedian said the show had been “a blast” and joked it had left the UK in a “far more stable, prosperous and happy situation” than when the first episode aired.
The programme has been on air for 17 years and 21 series, a total of 232 episodes, and featured 131 comedians.
