Rob Brydon (Host)
Born: May 03, 1965 in Swansea
Best Known For: His chat show and Gavin & Stacey.
Early-life: Born Robert Brydon Jones in Swansea, South Wales, on May 3, 1965. His early years were spent in Baglan near Port Talbot before he and his family moved to Porthcawl. He attended two secondary schools, one alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones, the other with Ruth Jones. Under the guidance of his drama teacher at the local comprehensive school, his interest in acting grew, leading to him attending The Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. During the second year of his course, he quit to work for BBC Wales and enjoyed six years of presenting work on local TV and radio stations.
Career: While still presenting, Brydon ventured into comedy, and made ends meet by providing voices for adverts and animations. A small role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels inspired him to make a short film of his comic characters; series of Marion & Geoff, A Small Summer Party and The Keith Barret Show followed. Other credits include Director's Commentary, Human Remains, Supernova, A Cock and Bull Story, Little Britain, Annually Retentive and Gavin & Stacey. He's also hosted his own BBC chat show and has chaired the comedy panel show Would I Lie to You? since 2009. In 2010, he starred alongside Steve Coogan in the partially improvised BBC Two sitcom The Trip and has since appeared in its follow-up.
Quote: "I was always very good with girls, I could talk to them no problem at all. But I could never close the deal. You need Dutch courage to do that, to kiss them."
Trivia: He released an autobiography, Small Man in a Book, in 2011.
David Mitchell (Team captain)
Born: July 14, 1974 in Salisbury
Best Known For: Being one half of hysterical duo Mitchell and Webb.
Early-life: Born David James Stuart Mitchell in Salisbury on July 14, 1974. He has a younger brother called Daniel. His parents were hotel managers who later moved to Oxford, where they became lecturers in hotel management. He claims he always wanted to be an actor or comedian, but told people he planned to become a barrister to please his parents. In 1993 David went to Peterhouse College, Cambridge, to study history. He performed with the famous Cambridge Footlights, eventually becoming the society president. It was in his first year at university that he met Robert Webb at an audition for a student pantomime production of Cinderella.
Career: After graduating, Mitchell worked an usher at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. He and Webb took a number of shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before being asked to write for Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller and for surreal comedy series Big Train. In 2001, they made their first sketch show, The Mitchell and Webb Situation, which ran for six episodes on the now-defunct cable channel Play UK. Their next project came in 2003, with the award-winning Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show. They've also worked together on That Mitchell and Webb Sound, That Mitchell and Webb Look and the film Magicians. Solo, Mitchell has appeared on 10 O'Clock Live and numerous panel shows, including Would I Lie to You?, where he's a regular team captain. His autobiography, Back Story: A Memoir, was published in 2012.
Quote: "I think, fundamentally, the people I want to make laugh are British. I can't ever imagine living abroad."
Trivia: He writes columns for The Observer and The Guardian.
Lee Mack (Team captain)
Born: August 04, 1968 in Southport
Best Known For: His role as namesake Lee in BBC comedy Not Going Out.
Early-life: Born Lee Gordon McKillop in Southport, Manchester. He lived with his parents above a pub before their divorce and he relocated to Blackburn. He left school at sixteen and worked as a stable boy and a bingo caller before his talent for performing was realised. He joined Pontin's as a Bluecoat but was sacked for shouting profanities at the audience and going on stage drunk. He entered an open-mike competition in 1994 and his talent was so obvious that he was to become a full-time comic within 18 months.
Career: His success as a stand-up was crowned when he won an award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He came to the attention of TV bosses after a stint on the radio. Lee was cast in The Sketch show alongside long-term collaborator Tim Vine. After a short-lived stint presenting They Think It's All Over, Mack and Vine began work on Not Going Out. The series revolves around two friends with opposite backgrounds and personalities, much like the two comics themselves. Mack has recently become a regular on comedy panel shows such as Would I Lie to You? and Have I Got News for You. He also has sell-out tours and best-selling DVDs to his name.
Quote: "I'm not as bothered about being as cool as I was 10 years ago. I quite like the idea of being phenomenally uncool."
Trivia: In June 2012, Mack was one of the comperes at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace.
Richard Hammond (Panellist)
Born: December 19, 1969 in Solihull
Best Known For: Co-hosting Top Gear, alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May.
Early-life: Richard Mark Hammond was born in Birmingham on December 19, 1969. His mum Eileen, father Alan and younger brothers Andrew and Nicholas moved to Ripon where his father ran a probate business. After attending Harrogate College of Art and Technology, Richard decided not to pursue a degree and instead took a series of part-time jobs, including working behind the bar of a pub and being a `chicken chaser" at a local farm.
Career: His broadcasting career began on local radio, before he got his big TV break hosting a number of daytime shows on Men & Motors. In 2002, he landed a slot on BBC's Top Gear, where he was given the nickname Hamster. Other series Richard has presented include Crufts, the British Parking Awards, Should I Worry About…?, The Gunpowder Plot: Exploding the Legend, Time Commanders, and Sky One's Brainac: Science Abuse. He was also a team captain on the quiz show Petrolheads and narrated the BBC series Last Man Standing. In recent years, he has started presenting serious documentaries on such subjects as warfare and engineering, and secured a world exclusive interview with his hero, Evel Knievel. He is the current face of the rather silly but very enjoyable Total Wipeout.
Quote: On his Top Gear colleagues: "Of course we get on - the show wouldn't work if we didn't get on. The arguments you see on-screen are for real and often carry on off-screen as well."
Trivia: He has published books on motoring and science.
Sean Lock (Panellist)
Born: April 22, 1963 in Chertsey, Surrey
Best Known For: His razor sharp wit on various comedy panel shows.
Early-life: Born in Woking, Surrey, on April 22, 1963. He is one of four children and admits that finances were tight - his father was made redundant several times. He does, however, credit his parents with giving him a strong work ethic. Sean left school in 1981 and began working on building sites, but being exposed to sunlight all day every day led him to develop skin cancer. He made a full recovery and moved into comedy.
Career: Lock's first professional TV appearance was in 1993, when he appeared in a supporting role alongside Rob Newman and David Baddiel on their signature TV show Newman and Baddiel in Pieces. He toured with the duo as their support act and, as a result, became the first comedian to perform at Wembley Arena. He script-edited the 1998 BBC Two series Is It Bill Bailey? and had his own show on BBC radio, 15 Minutes of Misery. It was later expanded into the half-hour series, 15 Storeys High. He's now a team captain on the panel game 8 Out of 10 Cats. Other game show appearances have come in the likes of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, Have I Got News for You, QI, and They Think It's All Over. He also hosted his own entertainment show on Channel 4 called TV Heaven, Telly Hell.
Quote: "I started doing panel shows, and I found that people liked me on them. They're fun. They're well-paid. And you don't have to spend six months writing them."
Trivia: Bizarrely, in the 1970s, Lock appeared on the BBC's Nationwide with Uri Geller - where he was taught the art of spoon-bending.
Judy Murray (Panellist)
Born: September 08, 1959 in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire
Best Known For: Being Andy Murray's mother.
Early-life: Born Judith Erskine in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, on September 8, 1959 to Roy and Eileen. Her father, Roy Erskine, played football for Stirling Albion in the 1950s before becoming an optician. He was also a keen tennis player. When Judy was growing up, the tennis scene in Scotland was very small and very few women were playing competitively. Judy won 64 Scottish titles but the coaching and financial support she needed to compete professionally simply wasn't available. She qualified as a tennis coach at the age of 17 and went on to study French and business at Edinburgh University.
Career: Murray got the opportunity to be the Scottish national tennis coach in 1995. She initially identified a number of children between the ages of seven and 11 who could benefit from coaching, including her sons Jamie and Andy. Not only was she their coach, she drove them to tournaments all around the UK. Since then, she has coached a number of aspiring tennis players. In 2011, she was appointed as the captain of Great Britain's team in the Federation Cup. In 2013, she watched Andy win Wimbledon. He has won more than $30million in career prize money. Jamie has also had a successful professional tennis career, specialising in doubles. He won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2007. In 2014, Judy signed up to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: "I've always been competitive. I'm like Andy, or maybe he's like me - I wear my heart on my sleeve."
Trivia: Judy was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Edinburgh in 2013.
