BBC Radio 4 - Spotlight Tonight with Nish Kumar, Series 1, 29/03/2017

Late-night topical comedy, hosted by award-winning satirist Nish Kumar.

Award-winning satirist Nish Kumar shines his spotlight of truth on the biggest news stories, in the hope of showing them up for what they really are.

We all like to think we know about the news and yet, whilst jokes about Boris Johnson's haircut are all well and good, do you still have that nagging suspicion there's important things going on beneath the headlines you'd like to know about? Well, help is at hand! Nish Kumar is here to cast his spotlight on the week's most talked about news items, taking an in-depth look at the biggest stories from the past seven days to scrutinise what's actually going on beneath the bluster.

Recorded on the day of transmission, Spotlight Tonight brings you the most reactive up to date in-depth look at the news.

This week Article 50 is triggered, we look at Trumps attempts to get anything done, and Sarah consults with an expert about the future of Britain's economy
