This cheerful, topical comedy is never off air for long - and with world affairs teetering on the brink of madness so much of the time at the moment, that is probably not surprising. The genial but incisive Adam Hills hosts, while Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe comprise the show's regular comedy backbone. As ever, it is likely that the special celebrity guests - keen to stretch their satirical chops as a form of protest - will provide the incentive to watch. Increasingly, something of a Friday evening institution.

Radio Times, 26th January 2018

In 2017, this comedy news roundup has remained - in the face of ever more bewildering world events - the sanest response on television. It is sharp and righteous, but also humble and inclusive, always punching up, never falling into the trap of seeming to be part of the establishment. For its festive farewell, Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe welcome guests including the very funny Stephen Merchant.

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 7th November 2017

Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe return for their 12th live series of Friday night irreverence, poking sharpened satirical sticks into the underside of events from the past seven days. Tonight's guests helping the triumvirate of tomfoolery tackle talking points from the worlds of comedy, entertainment and politics are New Avenger/Ab Fabber Joanna Lumley and - no stranger to topically tinged standup himself - Russell Howard.
