''[[Series/WouldILieToYou Rob Brydon's]] Annually Retentive'' is a British television show, first aired on BBC Three in July 2006. Devised by Paul Duddridge, it concerns [[ShowWithinAShow the making of a comedy]] PanelGame show called ''Annually Retentive'', themed around historical events, and hosted by Welsh comedian Creator/RobBrydon. The show is deliberately [[AffectionateParody parodic]], as Brydon plays a [[CharacterExaggeration hyper-realised]] (and nasty) version of himself, while the game show blatantly steals ideas from other, similar shows such as ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'', ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks'', ''Series/MockTheWeek'' and ''Series/{{QI}}''.
