The Now Show

Series 27, Episode 1

University Challenged. Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis and the rest of The Now Show team are back for a new series and it seems like Barak Obama is yet to save the world. So there's more credit crunch comment and a look at Gordon Brown's trip to the States. Jon Holmes takes a view on awards season and Mitch Benn tries to woo a very special disqualified quiz show contestant. This week there's also a guest spot from BBC Radio 6 Music-presenting stand-up Jon Richardson, who likes to stay home and drink.
