Unacceptable features Ed Gamble as host with two teams of comics battling to convince a studio audience of their most daft, niche, unwise or unacceptable views that they and their teammates must then defend.
Joined by some of the biggest names in comedy each week, Unacceptable will see a live "swingometer" track how many audience members the teams win over with their wit and punchlines as they aim to convince the crowd, with Gamble introducing a series of challenges to force them to practice what they preach.
