Is there anyone else here who absolutely loves this show? If anyone here does watch it, please say so, I'm surprised no one has brought it up yet!

I think it's brilliant most of the time, sometimes a bit hit and miss. Hugh Dennis is fantastic!

It's very funny indeed. I'm not surprised I like it as much as I do, given that it reminds me quite of Have I Got News For You with the focus on current issues and politics, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? with the improvisation rounds.

It's from the same people as Whose Line isn't it?

A great programme. I've watched it since Series 1.

I wonder if they'll mention regular panelist Linda Smith who died earlier this week. They may show 'Linda Smith - 19**-2006' with a picture above after the credits.

I think so. IIRC it's the same producer, Dan Patterson.

I really loved Hugh Dennis (pure genius) as Saddam Hussein last week. Another of my personal favourites is the 'Scenes we would like to see'.

I'm hoping it will be shown 'as a tribute'.

Rory Bremner is just a genious on that show. Especially the dubbing clips. There was one the other week with Jaques Chirac and Tony Blair.

Have you heard the News Quiz tribute to Linda, if not it's on tomorrow at 12:30 and for the next week on the BBC Radio Player

I agree. My favourite rounds are the ones from the performance area.

Shame they couldn't find time for Hugh's Jimmy Saville impersonation ?

The clip of Rory providing the voices of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown just makes me laugh so much!

"oh this guy used to have dark hair" (in regards to Alistair Darling). Laughing
