**Context:** This segment features the panel game show "I Literally Just Told You," hosted by Jimmy Carr, where contestants must recall facts that were stated moments earlier, often within the preceding segment or even the previous sentence. The contestants—Alan, Amira, and Miranda (with a fourth contestant partially visible)—are challenged with general knowledge questions, often related to information mentioned during the show's preceding segments or during a segment presented as a 'fake ad break.' The humor often derives from the contestants' struggle to remember information that was just delivered.

## Detailed Analysis

The episode of "I Literally Just Told You" proceeds through several rounds of questions based on immediately preceding information. In one exchange, Miranda is asked what Eamonn Holmes considers an essential food alongside confectionery; she correctly guesses 'crisps' (5:25), winning her team £750. Alan, when asked what Jimmy Carr compared a town crier to from the 1820s, answers 'Facebook' (6:09), which is correct. Anuj is later asked for the last three numbers of the fake mobile number read out during a faux commercial break, which he correctly states is '999' (7:51). The fake ad break content is revealed where Jimmy Carr promotes his 'Laughs Funny' tour, giving the number 077090999 for a chance to win a holiday (7:42). Another question asks what the Irish Times called Meghan Markle's book, with the answer being 'Awful' (4:33). Amira correctly answers that the 'Q' in Emy's LGBT-Q+ sandwich speculation stood for 'Quince' (3:30).
