Alan Coren was funny. Richard Ingrams was funny. Jeremy Hardy was funny. The News Quiz panels these days don’t even make me smile. A sad indictment of what used to be Radio 4.
I would like to just be able to follow the brilliant News Quiz - all the other so-called comedy shows are cringeworthy.
Are used to really enjoy this program. But now it’s completely ideologically captured. Weird lefties and the woke brigade.
I love this kind of thing . ABC in Australia did it every sunday night . Brilliant.
I like most of the shows from Friday Night Comedy.
Would be good if the picture matched the episodes.
