About this listen

 Since 1977, BBC Radio 4's funniest and quirkiest game show has been answering questions and offering wit and wisdom on global happenings, national news and quite frankly pathetic parochial events. Regular panellists Alan Coren, Jeremy Hardy, Andy Hamilton and Linda Smith are once again joined by a plethora of guests from the worlds of media and politics, as they bring their satirical talents to bear on topical events from 2004. 'The cleverest, wittiest, best programme in any medium in the story of the world ever' - Chris Campling, The Times.© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Entertainment & Performing Arts Funny

The best of modern satire with a Who’s Who line up from the worlds of comedy & journalism. Contributions from Armando Iannucci, Andy Hamilton, John Sargent, Linda Smith, Chris Addison, Sandi Toksvig, Jeremy Hardy, Francis Wheen, Clive Anderson, Phil Jupitus & many others including the BBC neutrals Charlotte Green & Harriet Cass. The only potential fly in the ointment is the disingenuous input from Boris Johnson. At this point, you would be forgiven for thinking that satire is dead. However, look out for the superb interchange between Sandi & Boris. There are some fantastic one liners from other venerable members of the team. This is BBC satire at its best with much of the issues relevant now as then.

hello Audible, while these recordings of the news quiz are as great as usual.
I'd like to point out that there seems to have been a mistake as both chapter 1 & 2 are the same, I hope that another chapter originally intended as chapter 2 was not replaced by chapter 1.
I hope that you'll take this into account and review the issue, and if needed report it to be author(s) of the audiobook.

chapter 1 & 2 are the same...
