The entire Series 100 of the satirical radio panel show, presented by eight special guest hosts

It’s the a single hundredth series of The News Quiz – let the centennial celebrations commence! To mark the occasion, each one of these eight episodes is presented by a different guest host through the world of humor, who retains the chair warm within their own inimitable style (and using their cushion of preference).

Zoe Lyons, Angela Barnes, Patrick Kielty, Andrew Maxwell, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Andy Zaltzman, Phil about THE NEWS HEADLINES Quiz: Series 100: The topical BBC Radio 4 humor panel present Wang and Nish Kumar lead a -panel of guests as they dissect the latest political machinations and gather news tales both big and little. Among the panellists are Andy Hamilton, Hugo Rifkind, Kerry Godliman, Susan Calman, Lucy Porter and Darren Harriott.

Topics are the prorogation (and subsequent recall) of Parliament, the Amazon rainforest fire as well as the environment strike. Boris Johnson welcomes a fresh relation (his puppy Dilyn) and waves farewell to some other (his sibling Jo). Plus, it’s last orderrr orderrrrs for John Bercow, Donald Trump encounters impeachment, and we hear about some Supremely relevant interventions. There is also some feisty pet stories, as seagulls strike and a Russian naval vessel is usually sunk by a rogue walrus…

Providing some welcome little relief are newsreaders Neil Sleat, Alan Smith, Susan Rae and Diana Speed, who read out a selection of humorous press cuttings submitted by listeners.
