Synopsis

Panellists in the studio attempt to answer questions based on pre-recorded clues provided by the "homies" - a pool of seven members of the public in their own homes.

Although it sounds like a format built for COVID-safe filming, the only restriction still in place was masks for the audience, who were only seen from behind anyway.

Games include a basic "what answer fits these clues" round, identify a historical event from the homies' silent re-creations, work out what question was asked to elicit these answers, and identify which celebrity these cakes have been decorated to resemble.

Name the celebrity (Clue: it's somebody Scottish.)

Amusing for half an hour but nobody's going to be clamouring for more.
