The News Quiz 2014: Series 83, 84 and 85 of the topical BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show

Three fantastic series of the satirical radio panel game from 2014 In these 26 episodes, we turn the clock back to 2014 - the year when Scotland said 'no' to independence, Ukrainians ousted their pro-Russia president in the Maidan Revolution, and the European Space Agency's Philae probe made its historic first landing on a comet. Sandi Toksvig is in the chair for every show bar one, in which Susan Calman steps in as temporary host. Subjects on the table for the team include NHS pay, a badger crash, commuter train standards, Russian activities in Crimea, dietary health scares, passport delays and black cab strikes. Giving us the skinny on these and many other stories are panellists including Kevin Day, David Mitchell, Romesh Ranganathan, Jo Brand, Angela Barnes, Sarah Millican, Lucy Porter, Paul Sinha and Tom Wrigglesworth - as well as Olympic gold medallist Duncan Goodhew, who joins the team for a 'Sport Relief' special. Bringing a touch of class to the cuttings are newsreaders Kathy Clugston, Corrie Corfield, Susan Rae, Neil Sleat, Zeb Soanes and - making her debut appearance - Diana Speed.

Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive: Series 1-4: The Complete BBC Radio 4 Collection

Creator of 'The Thick Of It', 'I'm Alan Partridge' and 'Veep' and films 'In The Loop' and 'The Death Of Stalin', Armando Iannucci is probably the most famous writer/director/satirist of his generation. Here he hosts his own award-wining radio show.'The best comedy on radio' - The IndependentComedians who guested over the four series include David Mitchell, Michael McIntyre, Russell Howard, Miranda hart, Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus, Clive Anderson and a young John Oliver (before he was launched to stardom on 'The Daily Show')In the first series, Armando Iannucci and his guests pull apart the news with a heady mix of topical comedy, messed-about archive, chat and outrageous fibs, recorded in front of a live studio audience. Across the complete six episodes, they start a new religion and update some Cockney rhyming slang, and as the strike by BBC workers starts to bite and the army steps in, we hear a debate on breastfeeding from 'Woman's Hour' hosted by Gunner-Sergeant Harry Donaldson of the 5th Norfolk Fusiliers. In another show the team take a look at the new Star Wars epic and debate the right of the Sith to wear a hood in a public galaxy, whilst simultaneously fending off a bid by Malcolm Glazer to buy a 75 per cent stake in the programme as it goes out, and in yet another show they make a List of the 100 Best Lists Ever and end up ringing Jimmy Carr's answerphone to find out the winner... In series 2, Armando and his guests episodes, they worry about a new spate of Middle Class illnesses, including Repetitive Divorce Injury, Recyclists's Elbow & Having To Stay In All Day To Await Delivery of a Trampoline-itis. Meanwhile, as the cult of daredevil Book For Boys grows, Armando shows off his I've actually got a sawn-off knife, which is actually just a handle. In another episode, they we debate whether Chris Moyles should be punished for his use of the word 'gay' on his Radio 1 breakfast show or whether he should just be punished in general. Plus they give some Radio 4 programmes a bit of a makeover as Start the Week is remade as The Dawn of the Dead...In the third series, Armando Iannucci and his guests check that all the jokes have to be strictly in accordance with legal norms. For example - 'Knock knock', 'Who's there?' 'It's me - the person knocking at the door', 'Hang on, I'll open it then'. We also hear selected extracts from newsreader Vaughan Savidge's calming 'Little Book Of Vaughan' which includes such wonderful advice as - 'First thing in the morning, look in the mirror, wink at yourself and say "Hey, you tousled genius. See you on the toilet..." And Dara O'Briain, Simon Evans & David Quantick think of what statues they'd like to see until they finally all agree that they'd like to make a statue of Louis Walsh, literally by dropping him in concrete.Across the fourth and final series, with Britain looking forward to the 2012 Olympics they'll be considering possible new sporting events such as Single Mumming, 4 x 100 Teenage Pregnancies & Turkey Twizzling. Plus they study some interesting animal facts such as 'Plankton always drift anti-clockwise, and form giant funny faces when no-one's looking' and 'Young adult pigs have started to emulate human behaviour by eating rubbish, drinking a lot and getting slaughtered'. Another episode sees the collapse of the financial markets and the team ask who they'd like to see collapse next?. 'I'd like to see Hallmark collapse, like a house of cards' and 'I'd like to see Damien Hirst collapse. In front of me. So I could then sell his skull at auction' are just two of the answers... And further, in the week where Barack Obama said to Sarah Palin 'You can't put lipstick on a pig' our panel realize animal metaphors are this season's must have and are hotter than a peacock on a spacehopper. Other exciting new modern maxims include 'You can't put a wig on a goldfish" and "Too many cooks are on the telly'
