About this episode
A satirical smorgasbord of The News Quiz's best bits of the year. Covering international tensions, a UK general election, and of course the question on everyone's lips, what exactly was a 'Brat Summer'?
With Andy Zaltzman in the chair, full of whimsical animal metaphors and cricket stats, we'll hear highlights from the crème de la crème of British and international comedy and journalism to dissect the news. It's a chance to return to, and revel in, some of 2024's funniest moments, starring Ian Smith, Lucy Porter, Geoff Norcott, Alasdair Beckett-King, Mark Steel, Ria Lina, Simon Evans and Zoe Lyons, amongst others.
Come digest a dramatic year of news, along with the leftover turkey, as we say goodbye to 2024, goodbye to 14 years of Conservative rule, goodbye to short-lived presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, and goodbye to Earth's temporary second moon.
