Alison Hammond’s “underrated” quiz show with star-studded guests axed after two seasons

The popular quiz show hosted by Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe on Rob Beckett’s Smart TV has been called off.

In the years 2024 and 2025, the Sky Max series spanned across two seasons. During this time, Hammond and Widdicombe took on the roles of team captains for a talk show where Beckett presented various topics originating from television screens.

Although the show enjoyed a large following due to its high-profile cast members like Richard Osman and Anna Maxwell Martin, sadly, Sky has chosen to discontinue it.
