So sad that the News Quiz, under its current chairman, has faded into something dismal and unrecognisable. Feeling bereft, I came looking for a reminder of its glory days and I was not disappointed. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for uploading this! For years I've been searching for old recordings of The News Quiz and this particular programme is the icing on the cake. Hope you'll be uploading more in the future. :)
Real proof of God's non existence... we have lost Jeremy Hardy, Linda Smith and Alan Coren, and yet we still have Donald Trump, Jacob Reece Mog and Boris Johnson :'(
Mark steel still doing it , would be more difficult for those comics as Trump etc are self satarising , I really miss Linda and Jezza , Alan was always good value going back to Call My Bluff on T.V. ,the show was a panel game about the meaning of words , both team captains had speech impediments[ Frank Muir Paddy Campbell] ,only on the Beeb ,lol .
Now the older ones, except for the occasional blossom, seem unfunny. It's funny that they didn't want comedians at the start and now we have nothing but comedians.

I’d say that was more proof of gods existence right? He’s taking all the best ones x)
He also probably thinks JRM is too old school even for him ;)

Now it's just a left wing woke joke!

Except for Susan Calman, who's never said anything remotely comedic.
that is why the early ones were not haf as funny ... journalists are not half as funny. my opinion.
