Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive

Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive is a British television show, first aired on BBC Three in July 2006.

Devised by Paul Duddridge, it concerns the making of a comedy panel game show called Annually Retentive, themed around historical events, and hosted by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon.

These latter segments were filmed in full, as if Annually Retentive were a real show, in front of live audiences at BBC Television Centre who, initially, were not made aware of its intentionally derivative and uninspired nature.

The theme tune used is "Reelin' In the Years" by Steely Dan, though on the DVD release the song is replaced with an original piece.
