I'll Get This is a British television comedy game show produced by 12 Yard Productions for the BBC.[1] The first episode was broadcast on BBC Two on 6 November 2018.[2] The format sees five celebrities going out for dinner together with each placing their bank card in the middle of the table. They play a series of games, the winner of each game gets to take their card back, the celebrity whose card remains at the end pays the bill for the whole table.[2] [3]

The show was originally shown in 30 minute shows, with 45 minute extended shows entitled I'll Get This Extra Helping shown at a later date, but with Series 2, all of the episodes shown were the extended Extra Helping episodes.
