Overall, this wasn't HIGNFY's finest (half) hour. However, it still provided a neat blend of political satire, slapstick and incisive political comment that is sorely missing on TV. Not too bad for a show entering its twenty-fifth year.

Flanking the Jezmeister are regular captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, as well as Pointless star Richard Osman and Camilla Long.
