Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker present another satirical outing for those not yet suffering terminal news-poisoning. Given the avalanche of deplorable happenstances in any given week, it's safe to say there'll be plenty to facepalm at, and edgy current affairs questions to ponder via the series' spinoff "#isitok" hashtag.

Wesley Mead, Den Of Geek, 26th October 2016Following its daily primetime slot during the Rio Paralympics - which culminated in Aussie host Adam Hills losing a medals-related bet and getting a rather wonky union jack dyed on his head - the irreverent news review show returns. Flanked by co-hosts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker, Hills ensures that the humour is pointed but never mean, while the #isitok hashtag remains an object lesson in leveraging social media for laughs.
