Remember when the news quiz lost its host (Angus Somebody) and people said it wouldn't be the same without him? Well, that was ten years ago, and the idea (unintentional) of having a different guest presenter every week looks like genius. If they ever make the job permanent again then question-master, Homeland's Damian Lewis, would be a serious contender.

Lisa O'Carroll, The Guardian, 15th October 2012It's back and Friday nights make sense again. Nothing starts the weekend in quite the same way as this half-hour dollop of headline-based sarcasm, joyful meanness and unashamed unpleasantness.
