Election and Exodus: Gordon Brown's battle to keep his job, the aftermath of the European elections, and the perils of drunken trampolining get The News Quiz treatment. Sandi Toksvig presides over team regulars Andy Hamilton, Jeremy Hardy, Sue Perkins and Francis Wheen.
Notes
This episode was recorded before the results of the local elections had been announced... as a result the episode was prefaced by an 'update' introduction recorded by Sandi Toksvig just before the episode.
