Presented by writer, comedian and self-confessed listomaniac Susan Calman, this hilarious show celebrates the power of the humble list—from 'Buzzfeed' to 'bucket' and everything in between. Accompanying Susan for a spot of comic categorising are a panel of special guests, including Lucy Porter, Joe Lycett, Richard Herring, Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Miles Jupp, Lucy Beaumont, Nat Luurtsema, Alun Cochrane, Sarah Millican, Ricky Wilson, Roisin Conaty and Isy Suttie. Together, they participate in a variety of anarchic games themed around lists both magnificent and mundane.

When Henry Robinson’s first daughter, Starr, is born with Williams Syndrome, he swears to devote his life to making her happy. More than 20 years later, we find Henry working at Frankie’s Funhouse, where he repairs the animatronic band that Starr loves, wrestling with her attempts at living outside the family home. His wife, Kathy, wishes he would allow Starr more independence, hoping that Henry will turn his attention a little more to their own relationship and to their other daughter, who is pregnant.

Hai mai notato quanto le tue emozioni influenzino come vivi ogni singola giornata? La vita di oggi, con la velocità delle informazioni che cambiano continuamente e il carico emotivo sempre più pesante, è diventata una gara a chi si sente meglio. L'ansia e lo stress sono una delle principali cause della nostra insoddisfazione. Non siamo mai veramente felici, perché ci sentiamo sempre in colpa per qualcosa o preoccupati di non riuscire a fare abbastanza. Siamo tutti sotto pressione per fare le cose al miglior modo possibile ma spesso dimentichiamo i nostri bisogni personali e quelli della persona che amiamo.
