In The News This Week (the Have I Got News For You podcast) - There was no Have I Got News For You election special this year, the first time that there hasn’t been one since the series began back in 1990 (blame Wimbledon and the Euros.)
To fill the void, as well as the fact that there won’t be any more episodes of the show until the Autumn, Hat Trick productions have launched a HIGNIFY podcast, where the show’s writers, producers and other members of the production team give their own witty take on the week’s news and discuss what could have been on the show if it was on television that week.
It is a shame that there’s no Ian Hislop or Paul Merton (or celebrity panellists) like the main show, but the audio version of the much loved satirical show whizzes by with wit and warmth.
