The host/captains/regulars have included Barry Cryer (Host × 6, Regular × 459), Tim Brooke-Taylor (Regular × 460), Graeme Garden (Regular × 430), Humphrey Lyttelton (Host × 356), Willie Rushton (Regular × 197), Jack Dee (Host × 128, Panellist × 7), Rob Brydon (Host × 2, Panellist × 20), Stephen Fry (Host × 2, Panellist × 17).

Love Graphs kindly provided episodes from 2012-2015. Episodes from 2015 onwards are from iPlayer. Episodes from 2009-2012 are from comedy.co.uk. Before 2009 are a mixture of iPlayer and the BBC's Genome Project which has digitised the Radio Times. We don't have much data on the first 25 series (pre-1995) so, if you do, please consider contributing.
