BBC Radio 4 - The News Quiz, Series 76, Episode 3

A satirical review of the week's news, chaired by Sandi Toksvig.

Season Tickets, Silicon & Synchronised Swimming. Sandi Toksvig hosts Radio 4's best panel show, in the week that rail fares rose a record 10%, politicians argued over who would cover the cost of replacing 40,000 silicon implants, and tickets for the Olympic synchronised swimming event were massively over-subscribed. Tom Allen, Susan Calman, Jeremy Hardy and Fred Macaulay dissect the stories of the week, and Harriet Cass reads the news. Produced by Victoria Lloyd.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
