Whatever happened to Jeremy Clarkson? He doesn't seem to have been on TV much lately but here he is, hosting the first edition of the unstoppable topical quiz's 50th series. Expect zingers about the refugee crisis and Jeremy Corbyn's sandals, plus perhaps some insight into what his friend David Cameron gets up to in the Oxfordshire countryside. Flanking the Jezmeister are regular captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, as well as Pointless star Richard Osman and Camilla Long.
