I used to enjoy listening to this programme which often made me laugh aloud, but the comedians seem to have been replaced by accountants. They are simply not clever enough to be funny and seem to think that shouting makes their gags funnier. (It doesn't)
Clearly the audience - which I suspect is internet-linked and does its best - is a bit small and that doesn't help, but I can't people like Sandi Toksvig, Andy Hamilton, Jeremy Hardy and Mark Steel being put off by lack of an audience.
So why has the Beeb wantonly destroyed what was a good programme? If they are short of a bob or two, they can cheer up. My license fee is on its way.

An opinion shared by many, and I am one who no longer looks forward to this every week. But if you think The News Quiz bad, try this from The World Service- www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08p118hSome of the later ones might be better, but this episode was one too many for me.
