Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants. The final touches of Have I Got News for You are put together only hours before recording, allowing guests to comment on the late-breaking news stories of the day.

Helen Lewis was replaced by Camilla Long (probably at the last moment or due to circumstances.)
Brooker didn't host, VCM did.
One of the very best satirical British comedies, with its finger pointed at the inadequacies of British politics and the people that through either inept performance or lack of talent show the British quality of laughing at themselves.
