Further details
The show starts with the headliners round, and the panel coming up with suggestions for the initials B.M.C.B. Then follows discussion about the leaders of the Labour party and of our country - past, present and future, and a newsreel round with Hugh featuring footage of Tories Boris Johnson and David Cameron. Aleksander Solzhenitsyn's Wheel Of News round features stand-up material from Ed, Zoe, Andy and Frankie. Then the comedians try to figure out what is the sport-related question if the answer is '85,000 miles', and the scenes we'd like to see that end the show are bad things to say at a job interview
, and things you wouldn't hear on Songs Of Praise
.
