The British equivalent to a late-night US chatshow, reacting to events of the day, has been an elusive grail for decades. On the evidence of previous series, Unspun is not quite it, although Dave has upped the ante with this incarnation: an extended version will now broadcast on Wednesdays at 11pm.
Andrew Mueller, The Guardian, 28th January 2018Given his status as a resolute Blairite, Matt Forde occupies an unpopular niche in the British political landscape. What with the current dangerous tendency of people on all sides to simply hear what they want to hear, this makes him the perfect candidate to present a topical comedy show. Expect a few mangled sacred cows as Forde cheerfully upsets Brexiters and Corbynites alike.
