Sandi Toksvig Interview

As The News Quiz returns, host Sandi Toksvig tells The Telegraph why it's lasted so long - despite the 'galling' low pay she and her guests receive.

Sandi Toksvig presents a new cultural quiz show which features regular team captains Tim Brooke-Taylor and Dave Gorman. This opening edition was recorded at the Hay Festival so we're hopeful that guests who don't normally go quizzing may take part. We're promised tests on top plots, naming actors and finishing famous lines from well-known books.

Novel ideas for a literary quiz

Sandi Toksvig explains the appeal of Sky Arts literary panel game to The Telegraph.

The man once described as resembling "an incendiary vicar" returns with four more blistering sermons. Those who know Hardy only from his rather lacklustre performances on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (on The News Quiz he confines himself to trying to outshout Sandi Toksvig) will be delighted to find that, when he puts his mind to it, he can educate through laughter, not a gift given to many.

Radio Head: Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation

Rowland Rivron, Sandi Toksvig, Mark Steel, Mark Thomas, Jo Brand, Graham Fellowes, Russell Brand . . . the list of modern comedians that divides the nation is a surprisingly lengthy one. And it will be only part of the listening public that will be rearranging its life to be in front of the wireless when the latest series of the sociopolitical lecture Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation kicks off next Tuesday (Radio 4, 6.30pm).
