The News Quiz, the best topical comedy radio panel game in the world, has been making the headlines since its inception. Hugely successful in its own right, it also provided the inspiration for the television hit Have I Got News For You.
Answering questions, and offering wit and wisdom on global happenings and news both national and parochial, are panellists Alan Coren, Andy Hamilton, Jeremy Hardy, Armando lannucci, Linda Smith and Francis Wheen, with guests Chris Addison, Clive Anderson, Rory Bremner, Marcus Brigstocke, Corrie Corfield, Barry Cryer, Jack Dee, Dave Gorman, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Phil Hammond, Boris Johnson, Phill Jupitus, Emma Kennedy, Fred MacAulay, Eddie Mair, Peter Oborne, Matthew Parris, John Sergeant, Mark Steel and Sandi Toksvig.
Keeping order over the proceedings is chairman Simon Hoggart, who picks some of the most memorable moments from the years 2003 and 2004.
