Bluestone 42: is war ever funny?
"Soldiers use humour to cope in a high-stress environment, and keep a positive outlook," says one military advisor on the BBC3 bomb-disposal comedy.
Caroline Wyatt, Radio Times, 5th March 2013After an ill-advised shift to Thursdays, the 41st series sees HIGNFY back in its spiritual Friday night home.
Slightly worryingly though, this series will be the first to be broadcast in HD - giving viewers the chance to subject Ian Hislop and Paul Merton to the kind of warts-and-all scrutiny they routinely dish out to politicians.
No offence to the panel, but if there was ever a show absolutely NOT crying out to be broadcast in HD, then this is probably it. You don't need technology when you're armed with a laser-beam wit that can spin crude lumps of current affairs into comedy gold in a nanosecond.
Jack Dee chalks up his tenth spot in the host's chair tonight, while Ian and Paul are joined by comedian Jon Richardson and Caroline Wyatt.
And after his dedication throughout the last series of Dancing On Ice, we do hope to see daughter Chloe in the audience waving a badly hand-made banner saying Come On, Dad!
This is the start of a nine-week run spread across 10 weeks, because the show will be off air during the week of the royal wedding.
You can bet they'll have something to say about that! But as there are now so many topical news shows on the box, sometimes there's barely enough news to go around.
The Have I Got News For You team should be flattered at having spawned so many imitators.
Mock The Week, Stand Up For the Week, Frank Skinner's Opinionated, Russell Howard's Good News, and 10 O'Clock Live all try, but this leads the pack.
Jane Simon, The Mirror, 8th April 2011After two series spent looking oddly out of place on Thursday nights, the topical quiz returns to its rightful Friday-night home. Jack Dee is the guest host (for the 11th time; only Alexander Armstrong has been asked back more often). The panellists are Caroline Wyatt, the BBC News defence correspondent, and comedian Jon Richardson, joining old-timers Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.
