Would I Lie To You?'s first-timers compilation jumps fifteenfold at four days
A reel of guests facing David Mitchell and Lee Mack for the very first time picked up sharply after a quieter start on the BBC panel show's official channel.
Why this story? The video is running at 23,622 views a day, 16 times its usual pace (1,505).
The WILTY Debuts You NEED to See... Newcomers to Legends | Would I Lie To You?
Would I Lie To You? has gone back to the beginning. "The WILTY Debuts You NEED to See... Newcomers to Legends" gathers the first appearances of guests who later became familiar faces on the show. Four days after it went up, it is moving at about fifteen times its usual daily pace.
That lift belongs to the video more than to the channel. The official channel runs on a deep catalog of clips from more than a decade of the show and draws enormous daily views across everything it has posted, so a compilation nearing forty thousand views is a small piece of a busy whole. What stands out is the change in its own rhythm: a few quieter days, then a sharp step up.
The description promises nervous starts and instantly iconic moments, as newcomers take the chair, meet the team captains and try to fool the opposing panel for the first time. Those captains are David Mitchell, of Peep Show, and Lee Mack, of Not Going Out, who have led the teams since the show began in 2007, with Rob Brydon as host. The tags file it under a marathon series and mark it as part three.
