* ''Series/HaveYouBeenPayingAttention'' is an Australian PanelGame in a somewhat similar vein to the [=BBC's=] ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'' (though with a larger focus on the "quiz" side of things as the contestants actually score more than five points), ''Have You Been Paying Attention?'', as its intro suggests, tests a group of five comedians/radio personalities on the week's events.

* A long-running British panel show was ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks'', which is based around music and generally features pop and rock stars as well as comedians. After most of the original cast started having other commitments, the show bounced back with a very successful format of rotating guest hosts and temporary team captains. Phill Jupitus has appeared in every episode but one, making him pretty much the face of the show. The show's final season was hosted by Rhod Gilbert, and the other team captain is [[Series/TheMightyBoosh Noel Fielding]].

* Creator/ComedyCentral's ''Series/AtMidnight'' was a U.S., four-nights-a-week take on the concept themed around internet and pop culture. Although obscured by its use of elements associated with American quiz shows (consisting of three solo guests, and having a presentation more akin to a quiz show), it still carried all of the hallmarks of a British-style panel game (including a focus on rapidly-changing subjects and recurring segments, and points that wildly fluctuated on the host's whim).

* ''Series/SpicksAndSpecks'' is a long running Australian music quiz show which, while never actually ceasing to be about music, would veer off into some very strange territory.

-->-- Richard Ayoade very sincerely introduces ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks''

** There have been two ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks''-alikes. {{SBS}}'s ''Series/{{Rockwiz}}'' is considered the more musically credible; it has the feel of a stage show that just happens to be on TV, being filmed in an actual pub and with the scores displayed on cardboard placards. It is trumped in popularity by [[Creator/TheABC ABC]]'s ''Series/SpicksAndSpecks'', which is closer to ''Buzzcocks'' in format but (being hosted by Adam Hills) with a more positive attitude and less likely to go OffTheRails.

* ''Series/WouldILieToYou'', hosted in the first two seasons by Angus Deayton, currently hosted by Rob Brydon, with team captains Creator/LeeMack and Creator/DavidMitchell. Slightly more emphasis on the ''game'' part of panel game, the contestants read out a card that either contains an unlikely truth about themselves or a lie made up by the researchers of the show, and they have to defend it as true, while the other team prods them for additional facts and then says whether it's the truth, or a lie. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6JH-3o17qI A video link]] explains it better than that description.) There are also various other rounds, such as each member of one team claiming to know a mystery guest. It's one of the best panel shows on today, with very little scripted material, lots of funny stories and plenty of good-natured ribbing.
* ''The Bubble'', hosted by David Mitchell isolates 3 celebrities in a country house for a week and shows them a variety of News Stories from the week, some real, some faked and the celebrities have to guess which is which. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y529crbY4DU It's better seen than read about.]] Notable for the fact that while it's a BBC show they are banned from faking news from the BBC. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTvVd8tr_n4 Here's an interview about the program.]]

* ''Radio/TheUnbelievableTruth'', hosted by David Mitchell. The four guests give a lecture on a particular subject that is full of lies, except for five truths scattered throughout, and the others have to pick out the truths as they go.

* ''So Wrong It's Right'', another panel show hosted by Creator/CharlieBrooker. Comedians (including several regulars such as Creator/DavidMitchell, Rob Brydon, Holly Walsh, and Creator/LeeMack) compete to tell the "worst" stories, such as the worst thing that happened to them at a party or the worst idea for a restaurant.

* Ireland has ''The Panel'' which dispenses with the quiz format altogether, while still attempting to feel like a panel game show. It used to work, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks until Dara Ó Briain left]].

* A similar show is ''Series/MockTheWeek'', basically ''Have I Got News For You'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Whose Line''.

* Creator/ComedyCentral's ''Series/AtMidnight'' is a U.S. take on the concept themed around internet culture and social media. It still carries all of the hallmarks of a panel game, although it is thematically inspired by the format of traditional quiz shows

* You could argue shows like ''Series/MatchGame'' and ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'' (and their various [[Follow the leader knockoffs]] and DerivativeWorks, such as ''Series/BreakTheBank1976'' and the 70s revivals of ''Series/YouDontSay'') are the result of the panel game and the game show getting drunk and doing it.
