Sky's A League of Their Own series ending after 20 years
After 15 years, the comedy panel show is set for one final series, which will begin filming this year.
Originally launched in 2010, it was hosted by James Corden for a number of years before comedian Romesh Ranganathan took over.
It has had a number of top comedians, sports stars and other special guests appear over the years.

Sky revealed the news of the show's cancellation today, Monday, April 28.
It said the farewell series will begin filming in Manchester this August, ahead of airing on Sky Max and streaming on NOW later this year.
Romesh will return to host the 20th anniversary series, alongside team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott, and series regular Micah Richards.
Teasing what is to come, Sky said the 20th series will "celebrate everything that has made the show such a hit", with "more laugh-out-loud games, surprise guests and sporting chaos".
Phil Edgar-Jones, executive director of original unscripted at Sky, said: 'Series 20 is the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything A League of Their Own has achieved and to give it the send-off it truly deserves.
'We're incredibly proud of the show — it's been a cornerstone of Sky's entertainment line-up for fifteen years and has delivered endless laughter, heart, and unforgettable moments.
"Huge thanks to the brilliant team at CPL Productions and to our fantastic on-screen line-up — Romesh, Jamie, Jill and Micah — who continue to bring such energy and chemistry to the show.'

Sky finally launches a new way to watch TV and the price will surprise you
Sky has finally launched its Glass Air TV, which is available now for a very affordable price. Sky still rules the roost when it comes to watching TV, but tuning into this premium service has never been cheap. Luckily, that's all changed this week with the firm finally releasing its all-new Glass Air telly. This internet-connected screen was first announced all the way back in February and now, after months of waiting, it's available to order via Sky's website. So, how much will Sky Glass Air cost, and what's included? It's been confirmed that this television starts from just £6 per month with a £20 upfront fee. For that price, you get a 4K display, Dolby Audio and full voice controls via the neat remote. SEE THE DEAL HERE You can also pick it up in three colours - including White and Green - plus there are bigger screen sizes (55 and 65-inch), although these do cost extra. One bonus of Sky Glass is that it doesn't need a dish to work with all content beamed to the screen via the web instead. Other extras found on Glass Air include personalised recommendations, full access to all the most popular streaming apps such as Netflix and a clever Playlists feature that stores things to watch at a later date. Of course, like all things in life, there is a catch. That £6 price is just for the TV. If you want to add things to watch, things start from an extra £15 per month. That means you'll pay around £21, but that does include over one hundred channels and Netflix. If you start adding more channels such as Sports and Cinema you'll pay more. A full content pack and the Air telly can cost over £50. Mirror Online has tested the more premium Gen 2 Glass TV which we like but are yet to fully try the Air. Hopefullt we'll have a full review soon.
