The only band to ever host Never Mind the Buzzcocks and stars of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, the mighty Horne Section are back with their very own quiz show featuring the world's finest comedians. After numerous bits and bobs on TV, three of their own series on Radio 4 and five years of sell-out shows around the world, Alex Horne now leads his outlandishly brilliant band into proper question-related battle. 'A frivolously funny mash-up of music and mirth' **** (Evening Standard). 'Wildly entertaining welding of stand-up comedy and big band music' (Guardian).
