She doesn’t have (IMO) the ability to make off-the-cuff jokes, comments, general repartee like hosts who are comedians by profession.

That's was our opinion too though her only witty retort about men over-emphasising the size of things was a good one. BTW does anyone else wonder what Ian Hislop scribbles down during the show?

I thought she was absolutely fine and satisfactory; we've had way worse.

Honestly, I think some of you guys watch this show with a microscope and clipboard just looking for things to criticise.

I thought she was perfectly good too. Anyway, aren't BBC staff always very limited on what they can say in case they upset a Tory minister?

Best show in a long long time .
All the panellists were on form and Kirsty Young had some good lines too

Agreed! Good contribution from all the panelists and Kirsty was a good host.

The writers definitely deserve a bonus after that one, Ian seemed to be really enjoying it.

New series starts tonight, Clive Myrie hosting with Jon Richardson and Marianna Spring as guests.

Kept that quiet havn’t they? We get different trailers up here but until I looked at the planner had no idea a new series started tonight.

[Pitre]

You sure it's brand new? Doesn't say so on the Sky programme guide...

Very few.
The way things are going they don’t need satirists taking the piss, they do it all themselves. Sadly though it’s all real, and the joke is on the country.

MPs, I think they're called...

[Bonefish Blues]

Marianna didn't say much.

[oobster]

I agree, Jon Richardson wasn't saying a lot either though, seemed to mainly Ian & Paul along with Clive. Mildly amusing though, and always good to see Ian talking sense.

[gruffgriff]

Not in the short cut but she and Ian did "win" so hopefully more voice in a Bit More News. Good fun still, makes me giggle. Small pleasures.

[Bonefish Blues]

Me too. Not a vintage episode, but still worth the price of admission, as it were

Well it's a political comedy show so hopefully some.

[540TORQUES]

Clive was a crap host, a very dull episode.

[Stealthracer]

Quite extreme left wing bias tonight.

Bitterness, rather than good satire. Not the best episode by a long shot.
