Product Information

One of the most dynamic and successful commercial imprints in the UK, Sphere aims to publish the highest-quality popular fiction and non-fiction, including thrillers, women's fiction, and celebrity titles. So the Have I Got News For You team have, in a moving and totally out of character display of public-spiritedness, compiled this Guide to Modern Britain to help guide you around, er, modern Britain. About the Author: Have I Got News For You is a long-running entertainment show starring Paul Merton (comedian) and Ian Hislop (journalist and Private Eye editor), which delivers comic observations and scripted gags, from the satirical to the surreal, through the highly original mechanism of a quiz about the news. Think of it as the sort of manual you get with a car – enough information to help you check the oil, though not enough to re-balance the steering. Nevertheless it's short enough to justify everyone's attention at least once and may even clear up some long term nagging questions!

News from Nowhere will not obtain personal information from other organisations, and will not share, pass on or sell personal information that we hold about individuals to anyone else. brand, the book bears no relation to the wit, banter and indeed cleverness of the television programme. Following Angus's departure, dozens of different guest hosts have taken the reins, including James Bond, Captain Kirk, Sherlock Holmes and the Prime Minister. The ideal gift to give this Christmas (to someone else or to yourself), this book contains all the fun of being on ‘Have I Got News for You’ without the fear of Ian Hislop pressing you on shady business dealings from 2008. The "Have I Got News for You Guide to Modern Britain" covers these and many other major issues in an entirely non-judgmental, non-PC, non-party-political, non-tax-deductible, non-partisan, non-invasive, non-intrusive, non-comprehensive and non-non-profit-making way.Given that Ian is an Oxford graduate who edits a topical satirical magazine and the other one is a comedian who never went to university, it's surprising how often Paul wins, said Angela Rainer.

Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . The conceit is that the book is actually described as "Packed with useless facts and unhelpful cynicism", so when you find that this is literally true, you don't have a leg to stand on. Emily Barrett, Sphere publishing director, acquired world rights to the books, which are the first in a new collectible series, from Hat Trick Productions. Richard Wilson, head of comedy and entertainment at Hat Trick, added: “After 32 years of making a TV news quiz, someone had the brilliant idea of doing it in book form. Additional features include a day in the life of a Tub of Lard, and in-depth analysis of Angus Deayton's suits, Paul Merton's wife, and Ian Hislop's remarkable consistency in losing the quiz.Upon leaving school with two ropey A Levels and a CSE Grade 5 Maths, Paul enlisted in the Civil Service where he survived for two and a half years. But before you leave the cosy confines of 2022, challenge yourself to live through it all one more time with a quiz book from your favourite topical Friday night panel show, with rounds including 'London's Hottest Party Venue', 'Backbench MP or Charles Dickens Character?
