Heartwarming / Would I Lie to You?

• In series 3, episode 4, Lee introduced the "This Is My" guest as the juggler he hired to teach him because his 4-year-old son saw a juggler at a birthday party and said, "Daddy, I wish you could juggle." It was true.
• During Ronnie Corbett's guest appearance, David Mitchell asked Ronnie if he knew Noel Edmonds. Rob Brydon proceeded to berate David for asking such a supposedly stupid question, and Ronnie gave David a hug.
  • From the same episode, Rob and Lee's utter delight in getting the opportunity to recreate the classic "four candles" sketch.
• A particularly awkward episode had Janet Street-Porter becoming incensed with David's questioning (AKA the entire point of the game), causing her to stomp over to his side and start yelling at him. The heartwarming part was Davina McCall, who saw Janet coming and immediately placed a protective arm in front of David. It wasn't done for humor either; Davina's face clearly says that she's being serious.
• Mel Giedroyc's claim that she had snogged a panel member led to a hunt for who the other kisser had been - Josh hits upon a connection that David and Mel went to the same university, and David visibly readies himself to take on the burden of the other side of this story. When Mel rules him out, Rob coughs self-incriminatingly to indicate he was willing to help her out. Even though it was a truth, and a story on the fly wasn't needed by an uninvolved party, both guys' willingness to play the partner was quite nice.
• The whole of series 13, episode 2, which featured David Mitchell's wife Victoria Coren Mitchell, and showed how they are very much an adoring couple. Clare Balding probably spoke for everyone when she said she was invested in their relationship.
• Lee's genuine regret when he accidentally damaged David's electric wand.
• The fact that Rob, Lee, and David are good friends who clearly enjoy each other's company and humour.
• Lee's explanation for how he knew David's claim about growing a man bun was a lie; they had spoken frequently on Zoom during the pandemic.
• In his autobiography, Bob Mortimer says that all the guests tend to be very supportive of each other because of their mild apprehension about not knowing what's going to be on the card before they read it.
• Yung Filly spent his appearance in series 15 apparently equal parts baffled and delighted by his older and more experienced co-panelists. He laughed uproariously at Lee's jokes, joined in Gyles' vocal exercises, was genuinely impressed by celebrity guest Cheryl Baker's Eurovision win, and generally seemed to be having the time of his life.
