Sorry, I Didn't Know is a British panel show broadcast on ITV, in which panelists answer questions about Black history.

[6][8] In October 2016, it was announced that ITV commissioned a pilot, along with three other programmes featuring BAME comedians, to be aired in the run-up to the November 2016 MOBO Awards, which recognise excellence in black music.

[5] The programme was one of four shows commissioned for ITV as part of the 2020 Black History Month, marked in October in the United Kingdom.

[12][13] The others were Alison Hammond: Back To School, Craig & Danny: Funny, Black and on TV and IRL with Team Charlene.

Akingbola said that he did not think audiences had changed substantially since the pilot in 2016, only that "the need to serve them properly has increased exponentially" as the Black Lives Matter movement brought "a spotlight to the lack of inclusion".

[18][19][20] A third series of five episodes was filmed at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, west London, in June 2022 and broadcast in October of the same year.

It was filmed in July for a November premiere, marking the first time the series fell outside ITV's Black History Month schedule.

[25] As with the first series, the second aired on ITV during Black History Month with Akingbola as presenter and Akudolu and Love as team captains.

[20] The third series aired during Black History Month with Akingbola as presenter and Akudolu and Kadi as team captains.

[26] Steve Bennett of the website Chortle reviewed the 2016 pilot positively, writing that Akingbola has an "innate authority", and the panelists "deliver as dependably and flippantly as any of the big panel shows".
