Little disappointing
I was expecting the highlights of the year to be compiled into this audiobook. What you get is just 4 episodes, which in my opinion aren't actually that funny. They're OK.
Lazy editing by the BBC.
Could have been much better.

Wonderful programme! Sandy Toskvig presented it so well for almost a decade.
A fantastic satire needed more than ever! Sandy Toksvig presented it with wit & rare political insight. She raised its profile with the podcast & News Quiz Extra. Wonderful!
