The likes of Jimmy Carr, Phill Jupitus, Dara O'Briain and Johnny Vegas join team captains Rufus Hound and Marcus Brigstocke and host John Sergeant for a brand new and exclusive panel show that celebrates the art of the argument.

In each episode, John oversees a lively cauldron of debate as guests and team captains are asked to argue against received wisdom, as well as defend comments that any self-respecting person would find just pain wrong.

In the classic debate round, teams will be animatedly discussing such pearls of wisdom as: London should not host the Olympics in 2012; the credit crunch is no bad thing; recycling is a waste of time; and the Royal Family serve no purpose. The teams will then move on to a visual aids round and alternative 'flip-flop' round, where contestants have to argue against themselves, changing their argument around every time the bell sounds.

With plenty of lively debate, some quick thinking and some sneaky point scoring, Argumental takes all the most topical and contentious issues of the day and rips them to shreds.

Argumental is the 1st Debatecom I've ever seen, and I'd say its pretty Damn good, Rufus, Marcus and John are the great Trio which is Argumental! The only people that say that they dislike John Seargant are the ones who watch that damned Dance programme Strictly come Dancing!

I actually find this program quite amusing. The comedians are quite popular, I mean, I recognise all of them and I don't pay any attention to celebrities. Honestly, some of them are actually quite funny. I suppose this program isn't probably aimed at the wee geeks, as they seem to take it all too seriously. Helloo... don't take comedy shows so seriously. It's a laugh, it's a giggle. Wayhey.

John is a TERRIBLE host with absolutely no charisma or comedy talent whatsoever. He can read a teleprompter, which is just about enough to get by, but catch him off guard and he just doesn't come up with anything original whatsoever.

There's something about this program that annoys me ...maybe it's because everyone is so posh and a bit snobby, mainly John, Marcus and Rufus...but then Marcus makes up for it for being so unbelievably cute and funny...

The majority of comedians on the Argumental program are extremely hilarious! I love the program and will do anything to watch every program. Thanks for running it, and also the other comedy programs.
