There's no reference to The Thick of It in tonight's show sadly, but there is still plenty of interesting info.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 26th January 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.

Of all the episodes in Series O, this one raises the most important question: why wasn't this one shown first?
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th 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.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th December 2017Just last month, Bob Mortimer was crowned fifth season champion of Taskmaster.

As ever, Greg Davies both officiates and castigates.
