The Now Show - Series 46

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis present six episodes of topical stand-up comedy, sketches and songs.

Recorded in front of a live audience, The Now Show mixes fast-paced sketches with pithy jokes and witty songs to take a sharp, satirical look at the week's news.

In these six episodes Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis are joined by a wealth of guests, including Alexei Sayle, Faisal Islam, Jon Holmes, Laura Shavin, Freya Parker, Mitch Benn, Andy Zaltzman and Peter Bradshaw, to examine the week's events and take a wry look ahead at what might happen next in the world of politics and current affairs.

Everything is fair game and a potential target for The Now Show team, and topics in the spotlight here include fox hunting, equal pay, the Greek debt crisis and whether or not Pluto is a planet.

This series was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July and August 2015.
