The News Quiz 2017-2018 - The Complete Series 92, 93, 94 & 95
Four more series of the long-running satirical panel show chaired by Miles Jupp.
Since its inception in 1977, The News Quiz has been taking an irreverent sideways look at the headlines, playfully poking fun at the issues, incidents and individuals that make the news. These 32 episodes, first broadcast between January 2017 and February 2018, see Miles Jupp in the chair once more, as he shepherds the panellists through the top stories from that eventful period.
With him are an eager pack of newshounds including Rich Hall, Romesh Ranganathan, Charlie Higson, Katy Brand, Andrew Maxwell, Angela Barnes, Desiree Burch, Llloyd Langford, Vicki Pepperdine and Gina Yashere. Between them, they find the funny in topics ranging from pie selections to the General Election, as well as Brexit, Theresa May, North Korea's nuclear stand-off, a cabinet reshuffle and Coronation kerfuffle, a risqué Georgian lifestyle manual, and the potential discovery of Santa Claus's grave...
Lighting up each episode are the humorous press cuttings contributed by listeners, read by newsreaders Corrie Corfield, Caroline Nicholls, Neil Sleat, Alan Smith, Zeb Soanes and Diana Speed.
