Billed as "a sort of comedy Question Time" on Skinner's website, this new series is a weekly topical show that takes on the big (and not so big) issues in the news from the comedian's unique perspective. Skinner says: "It's me, two guest comedians and the citizens of Great Britain sharing our opinions on stuff in the news. On a good week, I will probably crowd surf."

Russell Howard has got his Good News over on BBC3; now it's the turn of craggy-faced legend Frank Skinner to riff off the week's headlines. To shake up the theme, each show is filmed in a different part of the country, with two different comedians in tow. For tonight's promising series opener, Skinner is in London with Al Murray and Miranda Hart.
