Preview - No Such Thing as the News

No Such Thing as the News is scheduled to a criminally late, post-Newsnight slot (11.15pm) on BBC Two. It is such a shame that this thinking person's, humour-filled news inquest is not offered a wider audience - either through an earlier slot or on Beeb One.

After making their TV debut earlier this year, the QI researchers behind the award-winning No Such Thing As a Fish podcast return for a second series of topical analysis peppered with fascinating facts.

No Such Thing As A Fish, review

This intelligent quartet serve as a welcome reminder that comedy does not have to be dumb.

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 28th June 2016

The self-proclaimed elves from QI and its rather popular spinoff podcast No Such Thing As A Fish continue their new enterprise. James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber - whose tireless research has ensured the comedy panel quiz show a place in telly history - unearth the most fascinating topical facts from the week's news stories. Its tone is best described as impish rather than bitingly satirical.
