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.

Reviews

A rare book: a genuinely frank and self-revealing account of an actor's nightmare made real. Comic and even touching

—— Sir Richard Eyre

The tale is breathless... works up a gallop

—— Observer

Captivating...full of knowledge...suffused with Parisian sensations...he can choose words that make us feel and hear the instruments he plays...when you close it you feel you have been on holiday

—— Sunday Times

Charming...a cool, autumnal breeze of a book...written out of love

—— Guardian
