British Comedy Guide, 24th September 2018Such is the turbulence of 2018 that it's impossible to second guess the contents of a topical talkshow. What on earth will Trump or May do next?

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2018The 13th series of the Friday night institution continues. Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe -first thrown together to provide agile quips and quality bants for the 2012 summer Paralympics - show no sign of slowing down. They'll be taking on the events of the week, as ever, in front of a live studio audience.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 2nd March 2018This cheerful, topical comedy is never off air for long - and with world affairs teetering on the brink of madness so much of the time at the moment, that is probably not surprising. The genial but incisive Adam Hills hosts, while Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe comprise the show's regular comedy backbone. As ever, it is likely that the special celebrity guests - keen to stretch their satirical chops as a form of protest - will provide the incentive to watch. Increasingly, something of a Friday evening institution.

Radio Times, 26th January 2018In 2017, this comedy news roundup has remained - in the face of ever more bewildering world events - the sanest response on television. It is sharp and righteous, but also humble and inclusive, always punching up, never falling into the trap of seeming to be part of the establishment. For its festive farewell, Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe welcome guests including the very funny Stephen Merchant.
