Sara Pascoe and Will Adamsdale on surviving Christmas

You don't have to be a Grinch to find this time of year a chore - all that enforced ho-ho-ho, non-stop drinking, and over-consumption of Brussel sprouts and mince pies (not on the same plate, though, that would be weird) - as we are bombarded with aspirational messages in pursuit of the "perfect Christmas". But if your dream is merely to survive until the new year unscathed, then comedians Sara Pascoe and Will Adamsdale are here to help.

Radio Times review

Heaven knows, there's not much to laugh about in the news, which almost perversely means we need more than ever the pungent satire of Have I Got News for You. If we can't make fun of our fears, then we're lost.

Scotland's former First Minister Alex Salmond, now MP for Gordon at Westminster, is one of the guests. He has appeared on the show before, though some years ago, back when everyone, including him, had more hair.

Also trying to help us to forget our troubles is Sara Pascoe, a cheerful stand-up who's clever enough and observant enough not simply to be the female comedian who fills the "we need a woman" chair.
