UK Panel Shows that I’ve already seen. They’re great because there is no plot to lose, just a lot of off-the-cuff jokes and nonsense. QI and its podcast No Such Thing as a Fish work really well. Cats does Countdown and WILTY are also good contenders. And there’s one from New Zealand (and now Australia) called Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee that makes good background “watching.”

Taskmaster always draws my attention, so that’s no good.
